Injury report from Bryan May of News10:

Ron Artest has a strained right ankle. His return to the game is questionable.

 

[VF21]

There is no doubt in my mind that even if Ron cannot possibly play he will come out and sit on the bench, and cheer his team on...

 

[VF21]

The Kings were able to put forth a good effort without Ron once before. I'm not giving up hope...

GO KINGS!!!!!

 

[VF21]

Ron Artest is back on the court, running up and down and warming up. He is our WARRIOR KING!!!!!!!!

Reminds me so much of Doug Christie. And once again, I'm reminded of how much I love this team.

They're showing Grant and Jerry and NOT the Kings warming up. Like we want to see them??? Stupid choice on the part of the director IMHO. We want to see how Ron is doing.
