Ty Rests, Hornets Pull Out Win
by Devon Jeffreys

With a lesser foe on the slate and having watched the Spurs beat the same team without their talented big man, Tim Duncan, coach Byron Scott opted to have TC rest his ankle last night as the Hornets took on the Timberwolves.

“Well I’ve got to start Hilton (Armstrong) I can’t play Tyson tonight,” Scott said before the game according to Hoopsworld.”

The Hornets missed the Big Easy on defense but were able to post a late comeback and beat Minnesota 94-93 at New Orleans Arena Wednesday night.

The Times-Picayune described Ty’s injury:

“The Hornets (42-25) snapped a two-game losing streak despite playing without starting center Tyson Chandler, who is sidelined with an inflamed left ankle.”

Tyson’s status for Friday’s game against 17-50 Memphis remains in question, but today, perhaps Tyson hinted at his plans for the game on Twitter.com:

"Ankle hasn't 100% healed need to rest it for a few days."

TY-UP YOUR DESKTOP
Over at Hornets 247, designer Dariusz Ejkiewicz, just released a desktop wallpaper centered around No. 6. Ejkiewicz describes his motivation for the wallpaper, which he calls “The Crescent City Giant,” as follows:

“The comeback is a wallpaper designed after Tyson was traded to Oklahoma City. Once the Thunder rescinded the trade I knew it was a time for the Crescent City Giant.”
