Coliseum, Cincinnati. INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Cedric Ceballos ended his unexcused absence and returned to the Los An- geles Lakers yesterday, offering an explanation but no details on why he spent four days in Arizona without notifying the team. "I had some very personal and fam- ily problems to deal with. I apolo- gize," he said. "It just got to a point where it was just a little too much for me. I just needed time." Ceballos remained suspended for last night's game against Charlotte. He will come off the suspended list today and join the Lakers for a six- game road trip beginning tomorrow at Orlando. Ceballos, noticeably subdued, did not elaborate on the family matter, nor did he explain why he failed to telephone the team or why he went water-skiing while dealing with the family matter. "There was no reason for that at all," Ceballos said. "I should have let the organization know what was go- ing on and how I was." He did not have a chance to talk with his teammates before they took the court against Charlotte, but he said, "I think they will understand." "He will learn you simply don't do things like this. It's simply unaccept- able," Lakers vice president Jerry West said. "It's nice to hear from him that this was not a basketball matter." Ceballos denied his AWOL jaunt had anything to do with his reduced playing time since Johnson came out of retirement on Jan. 29. Johnson started his second straight game yes- terday in place of Ceballos. "I've always been happy with my' role," Ceballos said. "You bring a Hall of Fame playerback, everybody's going to adjust. Those adjustments were made and they're fine with me." Lakers coach Del Harris denied he has any conflicts with Ceballos, who described himself and Harris as being "fairly close." "We're not trying to be oppressive or overwhelming or make it an I-told- you-so thing," Harris said. "I don't demand that every player behave as if it's military school. I've given a lot of leeway to him and others." Family members accompanied Ceballos, who is single, to Lake Havasu, Ariz. "It's unfortunate I had this problem occur during the season, but you learn and keep moving on," he said. The Lakers' co-captain and leadin scorer had been in Arizona since miss- ing the team's flight to Seattle on Wednesday. Team spokesperson John Black said the Lakers would not dis- close whether Ceballos will be fined for the practices he missed. "For me to go on, especially in my life, I understand the fines and sus- pension were just kind of a side track of what I really wanted to focus or* and that was trying to take care of a family problem," Ceballos said. "It's not completely done, but we're going to keep striving to make it better and keep going so it can never occur again." Ceballos missed two games for a total loss of $54,756 in salary.
