    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Charlotte Bobcats power forward Emeka Okafor will miss five to seven more weeks with a sprained right ankle, meaning he's out until after the mid-February All-Star break.

    Okafor has missed 19 of the past 20 games with the injury, suffered Dec. 19 against Sacramento.

    He came back for one game -- Jan. 10 against Houston -- and re-injured himself during overtime of that game.

    The Bobcats got two players back, shooting guard Kareem Rush (sprained left index finger) and point guard Brevin Knight (mild concussion), for Monday's game against Cleveland.

    "I'm not 100 percent, but it's been three weeks and I want to give it another go," said Rush, who has been out three separate spans totaling 19 games with this injury. He said it wouldn't totally heal until the offseason.</div>
