Olowokandi will be listed day-to-day. But it seems likely he will miss several games in an attempt to further strengthen his left knee after September surgery, while allow his sore right knee (tendinitis) to calm down. Skipping the entire preseason schedule didn't get him back to full health, and limiting his minutes to 24 or less wasn't the answer, either.

"I'm thinking the shorter, the better. . . . A few days to let it settle down," Olowokandi said Saturday. "I've learned my lesson. Now I'm going to get it stronger and come back."
