Bobcats centre Przybilla done for the season; Jackson, Thomas, Livingston hurt

Charlotte Bobcats backup centre Joel Przybilla will miss the remainder of the season with continued pain in his right knee.

The Bobcats on Thursday announced Przybilla will undergo another procedure to remove wires inserted in the knee after he twice tore his patella tendon. Przybilla has not played for Charlotte since March 7. He was acquired from Portland in a Feb. 24 trade that sent Gerald Wallace to the Trail Blazers.

Charlotte is left with only one healthy centre, Kwame Brown. But coach Paul Silas says it's unlikely they'll waive Przybilla and sign a big man since any new player wouldn't be eligible for the playoffs.
