So much for Luke dunking before the end of the season.

Ray Allen had successful surgery on both ankles on Saturday and will be in boots and a wheelchair for the next few weeks. The Sonics are saying his rehab is 2-3 months. Nobody had spoken to him following his surgery, and there is some question if he is going to be at any of the remaining games given his stay in LA and then his confinement to a wheelchair. The press release said he had bone spurs removed from both ankles. I am not sure where that came from, that is the first I heard of a bone spur in his right ankle, Ray has said all along it was scar tissue. The Soncis say that is what Dr. Richard Ferckel told them post-op. So that is what I am going with for now until there is more clarification.

Bob Hill said Ridnour is done, he is on crutches right now and will be re-examind in a few days, after all the swelling goes down.

Danny Fortson is not playing tonight. I was told that he was suffering from "post-surgical pain following his tooth extraction." At least his abscessed tooth did not explode in mid-air, raining down enamel all over the Wasatch Range.

Bob said Rashard is starting to get more attention from defenses, even when he is in the middle of the floor in an isolation. There is no counter, Hill said, when he gets the extra attention he has to pass to an open teammate and hope they knock down shot.

I asked Bob if they had any interest in Zelko Rebraca, recently waived by the Clippers. Bob said not at this point in the season. But if it was a month or two ago, they definitely would have had to discuss signing him.
