Bobcats F Taylor out for season

Charlotte Bobcats forward Jeffery Taylor is expected to miss the rest of the season after an MRI on Saturday revealed a ruptured right Achilles tendon, the team announced.

Taylor was injured in the opening minute of Friday night's game at the Detroit Pistons.

Taylor expects to meet with foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson within a few days for more specifics.

In 26 games, including eight starts, Taylor averaged 8.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 24.2 minutes this season.
