    Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a concussion and will remain hospitalized overnight for observation in Houston after teammate Jeff Taylor collided with him going for a rebound on Saturday night.

    Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said Kidd-Gilchrist was moving his extremities and talking as he was wheeled off the floor. In a statement, the Bobcats said Kidd-Gilchrist had precautionary X-rays and a CT scan, all of which were negative for head and neck injuries.

    Kidd-Gilchrist, the second overall pick in last year's draft, went up to defend Toney Douglas' layup attempt early in the fourth quarter. Taylor swooped in and his right hip connected with the back of Kidd-Gilchrist's head.
