    On the side panel of tonight's game recap:

    http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4462361.html

    Bonzi Wells back from his sore lower back much earlier than expected.
    Wells did not have the scheduled anti-inflammatory shot on Monday, instead joining Tracy McGrady on Tuesday for a trip to McGrady's Waco rehabilitation therapist, John Patterson.

    ``It's feeling better, a lot better,'' Wells said. ``I went to the doctor (Tuesday) with Mac. Mac took me to his healing specialist. He did wonders for me. I feel great."

    Imminent return
    Bonzi Wells could return from his sore lower back much earlier than expected.
    Wells did not have a scheduled anti-inflammatory shot on Monday, instead joining Tracy McGrady on Tuesday for a trip to McGrady's Waco rehabilitation therapist, John Patterson.

    "It's feeling better, a lot better," Wells said. "I went to the doctor (Tuesday) with Mac. Mac took me to his healing specialist. He did wonders for me. I feel great. They were talking like I would need shots or surgery. He (Patterson) got me back in line, popped me back in place and did everything that can prevent me from having to go to surgery. He did a great job."

    Good, we're going to need him once we hit that nasty Dallas/Phoenix back-to-back matchup we have coming soon.

    Now this is almost comical.
    Is he even a Doc?
    What the heck I mean. If what Bonzi and Tmac's backs are really healed by this guy, what's all that tax money spent on medical research.
    I am still doubtful about this patterson guy. Could he be one of those miracle healers?

    Apparently, this John Patterson guy isn't even an MD, although he does have a doctorate. I guess if you can get results, your background doesn't matter. Thaaank you, Mr. Patterson.

    Great news, we're gonna need Bonzi against teams like the Suns and Mavs and definitely against the Spurs. As we all know, he is a San Antonio killer... if we meet them in the playoffs he could be the key to our victory.

    Hehehe Bonzi Wells will return after the Sac-Town game. Book it.

    I knew it long before he was injured he would find a way not to play in the Kings game. :D

    Arco arena is brutal as it is, i'm sure Bonzi is not interested in the welcoming party they'll have in store for him.

    Especially Ron Artest, who'll probably be flowers and chocolates to see Bonzi. ;)

    No death threats. He swears.

    This is great news! We are going to need another post option when Juwan's wish wears off and he turns to dust.

    It's good to start getting some healthy bodies back in the line up for the final half of the season. This team has yet to really gel and they are going to learn to play better in the months to come if you can keep that core group healthy (starters plus Deke, Head, Chuck & Bonzi).

    How good will the rockets really become when Yao is back and Juwon is still sticking that jumper from all over the court??? He was sick last night!
