The Bobcats have told Tyrus Thomas to stay home and he will not travel on the team's 4-game road trip. President of basketball operations Rod Higgins said that the front office felt Thomas was better served working out and doing rehab in Charlotte than accompanying his team. Thomas is signed through 2014-15 and is owed approximately $18 million after this season. That's not bad for a guy averaging 4.8 points and who hasn't played in a game since February 6. He's a definite amnesty candidate in the offseason.
