    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If Dr. Richard Ferkel gives the OK today, Ray Allen will fly with the team to Toronto and practice with the Sonics at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday afternoon, his first workout in nearly six weeks.

    "I'm going down there to hear this doctor tell me that I'm ready to get back on the court," said Allen, who has missed every game this season since undergoing surgery to remove a bone fragment from his right ankle. "That's what I'm going to hear. Anything less than that, then I'm going to be disappointed."

    Allen said yesterday that Ferkel, who performed the surgery, shaved cartilage from his ankle.

    The Sonics guard predicted that he would need roughly a week of practice before he could play in a game. </div>

    Excellent news this, worst case scenarios had Ray out until new years so this should provide a big boost to Seattle's season, especially with Flip Murray's current slump.

    Hopefully Drs will give him the ok.
