P.J. Carlesimo
Earl Watson (bruised right calf) is a game-time decision, and is probably doubtful for tonight's game.
Francisco Elson (sprained right knee) went through drills at the shootaround and will probably be available tonight.
Kevin Durant was limping at the end of the Utah game and sprained both ankles, but should be available tonight.
Chris Wilcox will not play tonight. He’s seeing a hand specialist this afternoon to get another opinion on his sprained right pinkie.
Mickael Gelabale also will see a doctor to figure out a timetable for surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee.
Carlesimo said the Sonics will sign a point guard this afternoon, but wouldn’t say who that point guard will be. It will not be Mike Wilks, however, because the team already signed Wilks to two, 10-day contracts and would have to sign him for the rest of the year if they bring him back. But with Watson likely out and Gelabale unavailable the team needs another point guard.
“We’re kind of one injury away from needing a wing, or needing a big,” Carlesimo said. “Which is why we need the flexibility now for that 15th slot.”
Carlesimo did say Wilks could figure into Seattle’s future plans, either as a summer league invitee or training camp participant in the fall.
Carlesimo said Mouhamed Sene may see more time in the next couple weeks, although he said the team is comfortable in knowing what Sene can do after watching the 7-footer play in the D-League. Carlesimo said the team has evaluated young centers Sene and Johan Petro, but not Robert Swift because of the knee injuries he suffered this season.
“I don’t think it’s critical, but it would be a nice plus to be able to do it,” Carlesimo said about playing Sene. “I think No. 1, he’s earned it. And I think just secondly going forward it will help his development. It will tell him a little more, and it will tell us a little more about things to work on.”
The NBA relocation committee arrives in Oklahoma City on Tuesday to tour the Ford Center facility and the town.
