Ty Makes Midseason Return
by Devon Jeffrey

Two games into his return, Tyson Chandler is looking to get back to where he knows he can be.

Charlotte is pursuing a playoff berth for the first time in franchise history and with Tyson back, their chances of making it can only increase. Ty has been back for three games and the 'Cats are 2-1 since his return.

It's been a tough season to date for TC, but he has put up strong numbers when healthy:

4 Ty's double-double tally this season

5 Tyson's season high in offensive rebounds, pulled down in a November 7th game in his old stomping grounds of Chicago.

6 Not only Tyson's number, but also the number of double-digit rebound games and double-digit scoring games he has recorded this season.

6 Also Tyson's season high in blocks and the Bobcats' current spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs as they pursue their first ever playoff berth. No wonder he's No. 6.

26 Number of wins, and losses, recorded by Charlotte so far this season. With 10 more wins the Bobcats will post the highest mark in the 6-year franchise history.

28 Number of games played this season by Tyson. He has the opportunity to double that number with a strong second half.

72 TC's free-throw percentage so far this season, 12 percent over his career average.

186 Total number of rebounds for No. 6 so far this year.

5,000 TC collected his five thousandth career rebound on December 20th against the New York Knicks. His 14 rebounds that night are a season-high.

5,027 Number of total rebounds collected by No. 6 over his nine-year career.

No. 6 and his Bobcats teammates welcome the league's best team to Charlotte when LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town on Friday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST and all the action can be seen on SportSouth.
