Sonics Set To Take On Spurs With Or Without McMillan And Allen

The Seattle SuperSonics will host the San Antonio Spurs at 7 p.m. PST at the Key Arena, looking to make it three wins in a row over the NBA powerhouse, howerver they may have to do it minus a few important men.

Coach Nate McMillan is currently in North Carolina visiting his seriously ill mother while Ray Allen is nursing a case of the flu.

Nobody is sure if one or any of the two will show up for tonights showdown with the Spurs.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Sonics associate head coach Dwane Casey said. “That’s why we have to come in with our high beams on and our focus has to be totally on San Antonio regardless if Coach Mac is back or Ray is here.”

The Sonics are responsible for the Spurs only home loss of the season.

Malone Is Closer To Retiring

Karl Malone will decide on his future in the next week or two and is moving closer to retirement, his agent, Dwight Manley, said Monday.

According to Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times Malone, the second-leading scorer in NBA history, might come back to play for the San Antonio Spurs, although he doesn't appear to be leaning that way.

"Probably toward retirement, just because that's what he is right now, theoretically," Manley said. "Things usually go the direction of where you're at."

Malone will not play for the Lakers, although he has been offered a front-office job by owner Jerry Buss if he chooses to retire.
