Charlotte Bobcats' Gerald Wallace (3) is fouled by Milwaukee Bucks' Carlos Delfino (10), of Argentina, in the first half of a preseason NBA basketball game in Charlotte, N.C., Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009.

CHARLOTTE, NC — D.J. Augustin scored 15 points and Gerald Henderson was nearly perfect from the field, with 14 points on 7-of-8 shooting, on Tuesday night.

Good thing, because the Charlotte Bobcats may need major contributions from both players after getting sobering news about starting shooting guard Raja Bell after a 94-87 exhibition victory over Milwaukee.

Coach Larry Brown said Bell has a partially torn ligament in his left wrist and may undergo surgery. He could be out up to four months.

Rookie Brandon Jennings finished with 14 points, eight assists and four turnovers in his second straight start for the Bucks (3-4), while Andrew Bogut had 14 points and 10 rebounds.
