    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SuperSonics forward Rashard Lewis underwent an MRI on his injured right hand Thursday afternoon, but the team said results wouldn't be known until Friday morning.

    Lewis injured a tendon in the back of his right hand in the opening minute on Wednesday night against Dallas. Lewis attempted to block Erick Dampier's shot from behind but his hand got caught in the net as he tried to swat the shot.

    Lewis was immediately taken to the locker room for X-rays, which were negative.

    Lewis is averaging a career-high 21.9 points, but Seattle has dropped six straight. The Sonics hope to get All-Star guard Ray Allen back for Saturday night's game against Toronto. Allen has missed the last nine games with a bone bruise in his right ankle.

    Seattle forward Chris Wilcox also had precautionary X-rays on his jaw after catching an elbow to the face early in the fourth quarter against Dallas. Wilcox got 12 stitches to close a cut in his lip and X-rays were negative.</div>

    And the results are he's out at least two months.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SEATTLE -- Rashard Lewis, the Seattle SuperSonics' second-leading scorer, has a torn hand tendon and is expected to miss at least eight weeks.
    A team statement said that Lewis, who is averaging 21.9 points per game and could become a free agent at season's end, was to have surgery on his right hand Friday afternoon. An MRI Thursday revealed an injury to the tendon sheath on the back of the 2005 All-Star's hand.

    We'll get Kevin Durant, we're not as bad as Philly.

    Kind of looks like McDyess with the Piston colors.

    We can officially blow up this team now. Clay and company can now tell Bob Hill how silly he was for questioning their "Two month evaluation." Hopefully his first change will include firing Bob Hill.
