Just when you think it can’t get any worse for the Sonics, it does.  Both Earl Watson and Luke Ridnour will miss the last week and a half with ankle injuries.  Ridnour played in 71 games this season and he averaged 29.5 minutes, 11.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game.  Watson played in 77 games this season for the Sonics and he averaged 27.9 minutes, 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.  The Sonics are lucky this happened so late in the season or their season would have been even worse.

The Seattle Supersonics are only 31-46 on the season and 11-27 on the road.  In the Sonics defense, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Danny Fortson and Robert Swift all missed big chunks of the season.  Two bright spots in this trainwreck of a season were power forward Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison.  The Sonics had acquired Wilcox from the Clippers for Vladimir Radmanovic at the trade deadline last season and it was a steal.  Collison finally started to produce after being a first round pick of the Sonics.

Ray Allen recently had surgery to remove bone spurs in his left ankle and he will miss the remainder of the season.  This is a huge blow to the Sonics as they finish up a lost season.  They are built around their two stars (Allen and Rashard Lewis) and they both missed a large chunk of the season which explains the poor record they have this season.  Allen played in 55 games this season and he averaged 40.3 minutes, 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.  He is impossible for them to replace.
