Ron Artest returns to action and other easily Tweet-able nuggets from Monday's practice

We'll have more details and moving pictures later in the day for you, but here are the nuts and bolts, sans pithy commentary:

  • Ron Artest practiced in full this morning, and said he felt good. He'll be re-evaluated again after shootaround before Tuesday's game with Houston before again suiting up. Overall, good news.

  • Lamar Odom missed today's run with a gastro-intestinal issue, one bad enough to require a visit to the doctor. Details about this sort of thing tend to be messy (ba-dump-bump), and there was no word on the specific problem beyond that.

  • Luke Walton wasn't cleared to practice in full today, but is hoping to be back on the floor participating fully on Thursday.

And finally...

  • There are, as of 2:00 pm PT, no results on the tests performed on the left hamstring Pau Gasol injured in the first quarter of Sunday's romp over Dallas. Remember, in the first go-round of Gasol vs. Hamstring, information was slow to come out, too. In that case, exam results were being sent across oceans and stuff. When there's news, we'll pass it along. Clearly, these things can take time.
