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.
