SEATTLE -- Seattle SuperSonics forwards Rashard Lewis and Reggie Evans sat out Friday's practice, both nursing injuries sustained in a Game 3 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Lewis sprained the big toe on his left foot and Evans has back spasms. Lewis was injured with 3½ minutes remaining in Thursday night's 92-91 win, while Evans left after taking a third-quarter charge against Tim Duncan.

Each player's status will be determined at tipoff of Game 4 on Sunday.

"They didn't do anything today except get treatment," Seattle coach Nate McMillan said. "I'm assuming that will be the same tomorrow. We'll see come Sunday."

Lewis, named to the All-Star team for the first time this season, is averaging 16.9 points and 5.3 rebounds in the playoffs. Evans is averaging 3.6 points and 7.7 rebounds in the postseason.

[T Park]

We are the better team, we can beat them at full strength!!! I wanna beat them at full strength. That way they have NO EXCUSES when they lose!!!

[dcole50]

[milkyway21]

Coach Mc doing a Don Nelson, huh? :D

[T Park]

dont look a gift horse in the mouth, if both evans and Lewis are out, it is ok with me.

win is a win.


get game 4, close it out at home tuesday night, thats fine with me.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well before game three it was talking shit and getting physical.

Looks like Nate's strategy before game 4 is a misinformation campaign.

[T Park]

exactly.


Evans and Lewis will be there.

Just like game 2 Ray Allen was a game time decision and he plays 42 minutes no problem at all.

[milkyway21]

how come they were injured when they play more physical than the Spurs?

Coach MC even said"they got tired of the Spurs' physical play in game 2"

his exact words were:
"I thought we played the game they played in Games 1 and 2," Seattle coach Nate McMillan said. "They were the aggressors. They were the team that was physical in the first two games. They had us on our heels.

"Tonight, we came out with a sense of urgency and were aggressive on both ends of the floor," he added.

:huh. If i remember correctly, they chopped Tony almost to death in game 2.

...injury of your own doing Coach Mc. don't mess with our 7-footers....

I have been informed by coach Nate McMillan that neither Ray Allen nor Rashard Lewis will be playing in the Game 4 of the WC Semifinals.

If Rashard really has turf-toe, even if he plays, his mobility will be compromised.

Let's give them a nice, quick sendoff into the offseason so they can nurse their injuries.

[LakerGod]

Both will be ready to spank the spurs on Sunday!

You heard it from me first!

No doubt. Is it no wonder that this is a SPURS year? The Basketball Gods are giving this one to us! Duncan will destroyyyy them Sunday!

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Cant_Be_Faded]

You'd have to have a secret bench assassin, 4 free throw coaches, and try to food poison PJ to even come close to getting the best of Popp.

[milkyway21]

Both will be ready to spank the spurs on Sunday!

You heard it from me first!oh yeah?

knowing you, the opposite of Nostradamus , the ONLY thing you might get are "both will be ready" and;

the result could be "both were spanked by the Spurs on Sunday".:D

SPURS :owned the LAKERS

[Rydia]

Hahaha!!!

This is Great!!! I thought THEY Were beating US up!!! They are 'Putting bodies on the ground' I guess it's Manu doing the damage not James!!

LoL

Yet again...Babies "DO you want your bottle?"

[Phenomanul]

[MadDog73]

Both will be ready to spank the spurs on Sunday!

You heard it from me first!

Yea LakerGod! Work your Spurs-mojo. Everytime you speak, the opposite happens.

I'm beginning to think you're a SpursFan in disguise....
