• Charlotte Bobcats big man Bismack Biyombo declares himself ready for the matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, after missing the last two games with a contusion of his left lower leg. “It’s doing pretty good,’’ Biyombo told the Observer before morning shootaround.  “I’m going to play tonight. I’m going to play tonight!’’

• When captain Gerald Henderson will return from a sprained left foot is still an open question. Henderson has missed the Bobcats’ last 11 games. He’s improving, but still not close enough to target a return date.
The encouraging thing is Henderson is now cleared to run and jump. But he still feels some pain and hasn’t yet done some of the reflex things that could place his foot in awkward positions.
“It’s almost there,’’ Henderson said.  “I haven’t done a lot of contact yet; that’s what I’m waiting on now. There’s still a level of soreness in there.

Дал ће весели Вашингтон да победи коначно? Као нису задовољни са Витменом, оће да га отпусте... мени жао човека, с ким јадан да игра? Еј Џеј Прајсом, Аризом, Серафином, погубљеним Окафором? Па шта су они очекивали јеботе...

Још су они и добри, умало да победе неколико пута.

Billups returning from Achilles injury vs. Wolves

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chauncey Billups is returning to the court for the Los Angeles Clippers against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night after being sidelined for more than nine months because of injury.

Billups played in 20 games last season before he tore his left Achilles tendon on Feb. 6 against Orlando. He averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while playing 30 minutes a game.
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro says the team is excited to have Billups back in the lineup.
