Right in the middle of a playoff race, the Bobcats have been dealt a blow.

(OK, they're 1-1, but they are sitting eighth in the East right now!)

The team announced Tuesday that guard Gerald Henderson could miss two-to-four weeks because of a left foot sprain suffered against the Mavericks on Nov. 3.

Henderson is one of Charlotte's most reliable scorers and the team's starting shooting guard. They do have some depth at the position, though, with Ben Gordon playing behind Henderson.

The Bobcats snapped a 23-game losing streak by winning their first game of the season against Indiana. Henderson contributed 18 points in the win.
