SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Forward Brian Grant, part of an offseason trade with the Miami Heat, was withheld from practice as a precaution by the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday because of a sore neck re-aggravated in training camp.
Grant, whose status is day-to-day, originally hurt his neck during summer conditioning. X-rays of the latest ailment were negative.
``It's good news that nothing showed up (on the X-rays),'' said Lakers coach Rudy Tomjanovich, who noted that Grant played in a full team scrimmage Wednesday night.
Luke Walton twisted an ankle in practice as the Lakers conducted their third day of training camp at the University of San Diego. He also is considered day-to-day.
Vlade Divac, who rejoined the Lakers this season from Sacramento, missed practice because of a scheduled treatment on his back.
Tomjanovich, while noting it was still early in camp, said he was pleased with the team's progress.
``It's a slow process because we have so much information,'' Tomjanovich said. ``I think we're doing good with the overload of stuff -- the terminology and different things. I think it's going very well.''
The Lakers are scheduled to practice daily leading into their first exhibition game, on Tuesday against Seattle at Anaheim.
