While the Charlotte Bobcats haven’t projected how long power forward Byron Mullens will be out with a sprained left ankle, you can safely assume this:

He’s not coming back anytime soon.

Mullens took a hard fall late in Saturday’s road loss to the Denver Nuggets. He couldn’t put any weight on the joint, and there was relief around the franchise that he hadn’t fractured his ankle. Still, he figures to be out weeks, if not a month, with the injury.
