Although hardly a "Sandy Koufax moment," Kings rookie Omri Casspi will not participate in the opening day of training camp - basically known as media availability day - because Monday is also Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish faith/culture. The famous Dodger lefthander, most baseball fans will recall, refused to pitch Game One of the 1965 World Series because it conflicted with Yom Kippur. Casspi, who will become the first Israeli to play in the league when he suits up on opening night,
