SEATTLE (AP) Seattle SuperSonics guard Brent Barry left Tuesday night's 118-116 loss to the Dallas Mavericks after breaking a bone in a finger on his right hand.

Barry, averaging 10.7 points and 5.5 assists per game, scored six points as the Sonics built a 61-58 halftime lead, and didn't return after leaving to have his hand X-rayed. The injury occurred late in the first half.

Team officials had no immediate word on how the injury occurred. Barry will be evaluated Wednesday and will miss the team's road game at the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
