Bismack returns after missing a few games

[insidehoops]

Charlotte Bobcats big man Bismack Biyombo declares himself ready for the matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, after missing the last two games with a contusion of his left lower leg.

“It’s doing pretty good,’’ Biyombo told the Observer before morning shootaround. “I’m going to play tonight. I’m going to play tonight!’’

Biyombo hurt himself in a fall last Friday in another game against the Hawks. They hoped he’d miss no time, but he was a scratch just before tip-off in Washington Saturday, then sat out Monday’s blowout loss in Oklahoma City.
