Gerald Wallace

  • National Basketball Association forward Gerald Wallace plays for the Charlotte Bobcats. He is widely regarded for his impressive athleticism and his spirited, all-out play. He has been injury plagued throughout his career because of his willingness to sacrifice his body for the good of the team. When healthy, he is an explosive force on the offensive end, as well as excellent athletic defender.

    Wallace was hospitalized following a collision with Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers during a January 27, 2009, game. A chest tube was inserted after tests revealed that 30 to 40 percent of his left lung had collapsed and he had broken a rib. Wallace was released from the hospital on January 30.ESPN.com: Bobcats' Wallace out of hospital as lung heals (January 30, 2009)
