Artest loses tooth – Perhaps because Ron Artest is still serving his league-issued suspension, he's taken to treating practices like the games themselves.
Case in point was Thursday, when the Kings small forward was hit by Watkins and watched a front tooth fly out of his mouth. After picking up the broken root and taking a breather, he finished practice.
"You know how tough Ron is – I tell you," Theus said. "I had one player get kicked in the shin, and he was out for the whole practice, but I have (Artest) lose a tooth where you could see the root, he's playing with the root in his hand, and he finished practice. There's a big difference in mentality."
