Although most of the discussion has been about Weber returning in December, he seems to be making good progress rehabbing his knee. In the radio interview I heard that was done during the two hour tour of his rehab, Weber initially said "a couple more weeks" and then immediately back away from the statement.

Peter Vecsey reported in the New York Post that Weber will be suspended five games for lying to the Grand Jury penalty, but the suspension won't be executed until his surgically repaired knee is fully rehabilitated in early to mid-December.

The Kings signed Gerald Wallace through the 2004-05 season when they exercised a $1.65 million option Thursday, two weeks before the deadline.
