    Due to his recuperation from the collapsed lung, G. Wallace is taking the bus back to Charlotte,NC from LA.

    Probably has to do with elevation and pressure.

    at high altitudes there is low air pressure.
    and even though his lung has re-inflated you don't wanna take an unnecessary risk by flying so soon after the injury. they are just playing it safe.

    why not Amtrak at least? Is this a private bus, or are we talking Greyhound here?

    The free throw margin is going to end up being like a +20 attempts for Chicago when this game's over.

    Hopefully it's not by Greyhound.
    I have nightmares of the normally 3 hrs turned to 4.5/5hr journey from Houston to Dallas and back. :(
