The latest on the Kings and those troublesome ankle sprains.
*Tyreke Evans practiced today. He said he had trouble sleeping last night but after treatment this morning his right ankle began to loosen up.
It's the same ankle that's bothered Evans off and on this season.
*Donte' Greene did not practice and received treatment on his left ankle. He's listed as day-to-day. Greene left the first half of Tuesday's game against the Suns with the injury and played briefly in the second half.
*Kevin Martin said that he feels "ready" to play. He's waiting for clearance to return following next Tuesday's doctor's appointment.
*Paul Westphal's observation of how practice is different now that Francisco Garcia is able to participate:
"It's a lot louder when he's out there. Can't always understand what he's saying but he is enthusiastic."
Westphal doesn't anticipate Garcia being able to return to the team full time before the end of the month.
*The (potentially) scary moment of practice was seeing Garcia bump into Jon Brockman. There was nothing violent about the collision and nothing to really worry about. But whenever Brockman's involved, I anticipate someone falling to the floor hard.
