From the Sonics today.
Seattle SuperSonics general manager Sam Presti announced today that forward Chris Wilcox will miss the remainder of the 2007-08 season with a dislocated PIP joint of the right little finger.
“After gathering all of the necessary information, the decision has been made to rest the injury and allow for the proper recuperation and rehabilitation to avoid further damage,” Presti said. “We are disappointed that we will be without Chris the remainder of the season but look forward to having him back healthy next year.”
Wilcox originally suffered the injury in the first quarter of the game at Phoenix on Jan. 3. He re-injured the finger in the first half of the Phoenix game a little over a week ago. Wilcox appeared in 62 games this season for the Sonics, averaging 13.4 points and 7.0 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game.
Former U.S. Senator Slade Gorton was interviewed this morning by Mitch Levy of KJR and provided an update on the arena situation. You can listen to that here.
Most of the interview was just a rehash of what has been happening the past week, but Gorton, who's firm is representing the city in its court case against the Sonics, did reiterate that he believes the city has a very good chance of winning the court case in June, and that if and when the city and the private investment group puts together and presents its plan to revamp KeyArena, it will put more pressure on NBA owners and Stern to broker an agreement to make sure there's an NBA team in Seattle.
You might have missed it if you only read the sports section, but The News Tribune columnist Peter Callaghan presents his take on the Sonics situation here.
