CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -Tyrus Thomas has arrived in Charlotte and is expected to play against Cleveland, a day after being acquired in the Bobcats’ latest deal.
Thomas and Theo Ratliff, acquired in a separate trade, walked onto the court Friday morning after taking their physicals. Most of their new teammates had already left the floor following shootaround, but guard Stephen Jackson hugged them both.
Jackson said he’s excited about adding Thomas’ rebounding and shot-blocking, but lamented the loss of guard Flip Murray, who was sent to Chicago on Thursday.
The Bobcats got some good news on injuries ahead of Friday night’s game against the Cavaliers. Centers Nazr Mohammed and Tyson Chandler said they would try to play after missing practice the past two days with injuries.
