Bonzi Wells limped out of the trainer's room and climbed onto a stationary bike after practice, but the Kings guard insisted all that ails him is a sore body from the rigors of practice. And injuries? Don't even knock on hardwood, please.
"I'm fine, just a little sore like everyone else but those young kids out there," he said, referring to pups such as Ronnie Price and Luis Flores. "I won't even talk about injuries. Don't want a jinx. I'm too superstitious."
Look away, please
Eric Sandrin has a scar that snakes across his right knee like the interstate on a long road map. The Kings hopeful blew out his knee -all ligaments -in 1999, though he has recovered.
"Now there's just an ugly scar," he said. "It's pretty hideous. Looks like a shark bite more than anything."
Key dates
Saturday: At Portland. Golden chance for Price and Flores to shine in place of a hobbled Jason Hart. Does Mike Bibby shoot better early?
Sunday: Vs. Phoenix in Fresno. Never mind the loss of Amare Stoudemire, coach Rick Adelman warns. Suns are still formidable, preseason or not. Wednesday: vs. Phoenix in Albuquerque, N.M. A homecoming for Kings forward Kenny Thomas, who soared to hoops fame in this state as a prep and collegian.
