Bowden could miss 3 weeks with shoulder injury


Freshman shooting guard Shamarr Bowden could be out as long as three weeks with a separated left shoulder suffered during Saturday's Green-White scrimmage game, team officials confirmed.

Bowden, who was named to the Atlantic 10 Conference preseason all-rookie team last week, saw his doctor on Sunday. X-rays of the injury showed nothing that required surgery.

Bowden, who missed last season with a knee injury, will likely miss the 49ers' exhibition game with Johnson C. Smith and the home opener with UNC Asheville. He may be ready in time for Charlotte's appearance in the NIT Season Tip-Off Tournament which begins Nov. 16 vs. Elon at Duke.

How exactly can players be named to an "All-Conference team" when they've never played a single game for their teams?

It says "Atlantic 10 Conference All-Rookie team"... there's a difference.

Ohh with all the injuries this season, lets just give Lutz a pass, extend his contract, and wait till next year!

Relax sports fans.....this team is deep enough to live with a few little set backs. This is an opportunity to allow them to live without Shamarr for a couple games and make them even better when he returns.

I hate if for Bowden. He has worked hard to shake off last year's disappointment of being out injured. Good luck Shamarr.
