Training camp, day 4

Kobe Bryant practiced Monday night, but sat out today's workout. There's no change in the Lakers' plans for him. He is expected to play a few minutes in the exhibitions. ...
Steve Blake practiced for the second straight day and looked just fine after suffering a mild sprain of his left ankle on Sunday. No reason to think he won't play Monday. ...
Andrew Bynum looked sharp while hoisting a few jump shots on one of the side baskets as the rest of the Lakers scrimmaged with three referees on hand to keep it fair. ...
Sasha Vujacic hit several jumpers for the purple team (the starters) during the scrimmage. Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest and Derek Fisher also played in purple. ...
Artest then went one-on-one with rookies Derrick Caracter and Devin Ebanks in a post-practice session. Artest said they kicked his butt. ...
Luke Walton has made it through the first four days of camp without a setback in his balky back, which limited him to only 29 games last season. Stay tuned, though. ...
