Henderson (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Pacers, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Henderson went through non-contact portions of Wednesday's practice, but his hamstring soreness will prevent him from making a preseason appearance. Nonetheless, the swingman is thought to be close to returning to action, making his status worthwhile to monitor in advance of the Bobcats' Oct. 29 regular season opener.
