<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Seattle SuperSonics All-Star guard Ray Allen could miss the rest of the NBA season due to bone spurs in his left ankle.A CT scan scheduled Friday could determine whether Allen, who missed Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, will need season-ending surgery from an injury that has plagued him for the past two months, The News Tribune in Tacoma reported.Allen has said he will eventually get surgery at some point, but if doctors determine his pain will not subside, he could opt for it sooner rather than later and miss the final 24 games of the Sonics' season."The bone spur is there from the last time I went to the doctor, but it has gotten worse," Allen told the newspaper. "We'll just see how it goes the next couple of days because if it does not get any better, I could have surgery sooner."Despite his injuries, Allen is having another productive season, averaging a career-high 26.4 point per game.</div>LinkIt's pretty much a wasted season for the Sonics. No chanc for the playoffs, so if I was Allen, I'd really consider this.
Now the Sonics can get Kevin Durant or Greg Oden and win a championship......Nah, in Seattle it won't happen lol.The Mariners will win a World Series before that
Well he has decided to.. it's a shame because I was just watching He Got Game today. get well soon ray.
Not a bad decision. Allen is a veteran, and the Sonics obviously aren't going to make the playoffs this year. If he's hurting, there is no reason for him to continue to play and potentially damage his foot even more. Plus, obviously this draft is really good, and if Allen doesn't play, the Sonics have a really good shot at either Jeff Green or Brandan Wright. The Sonics will need a SF because Shard probably won't be in Seattle next year, and they don't even have suitable backup this season.
