Keeping track of Clippers Odom, Anderson return after missing practice
Posted: Monday January 03, 2000 03:40 PM
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles Clippers had a full roster at Monday's practice - a day after Derek Anderson and rookie Lamar Odom were unexcused no-shows. "Odom overslept and missed practice, and there was a timing miscommunication with Anderson," said Rob Raichlen, the team's director of communications. Charles Jones also missed Sunday's practice at Veteran's Sports Complex in suburban Carson, but his absence was excused, Raichlen said. The absence of the three players followed by two days the unexcused absence of Michael Olowokandi from Friday's practice. When asked if there would be fines levied, Raichlen said, "The situation will be handled internally, as was the situation with Michael." The Clippers face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night - the second game between the teams this season. The Lakers, winners of 10 straight games, held the Clippers to an NBA record-low 19 points in the first half in beating them 95-68 Dec. 14. Normally a starter, Anderson sprained his ankle a day earlier in Vancouver and hasn't played since, missing a total of eight games. He is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game at Staples Center.
