A team spokesman told ESPN.com that Artest was examined by a neurologist on Monday. He did not accompany the team to Phoenix and will not play in Monday night’s game. He also did not play Saturday against Sacramento

Artest sustained a concussion and injured his left elbow in a fall at his home on Christmas Day. The team said Artest tripped over a box and fell down stairs.

He did not travel with the Lakers on their two-game trip to Sacramento and Phoenix.
