Seattle Sports: In the Morning

Spencer Hawes says he's ready to play, but the Kings training staff hasn't cleared him and won't say when they will.

Lute Olson is taking a leave of absence from Arizona for "a personal matter that needs my undivided attention." He won't say what it is. Olson will be back "shortly" says assistant Kevin O'Neill.

Dave Boling says the solution to the O-line problems is to start Mo Morris instead of Shawn Alexander.
