It's official: Ron Artest practiced with the team this morning and will play against Denver tomorrow.

Again, if the team and coaching staff want this (and it sounds like they do), then I'm fine with it. I'd rather he not be a King right now, but you're not going to cut him midseason and you can't trade him til June or July. This is certain best for Ron, and it might be the best thing for the team. We won't know until the season ends. (And even then, what the team would've done without him would be hypothetical.)

Expect a charge ARCO crowd tomorrow, one way or the other.
