Luke Ridnour's MRI exam revealed a torn left quadriceps. Ridnour, who had the exam Wednesday, is expected to miss two to four weeks and more likely four, leaving the Sonics with essentially 1 1/2 point guards: Earl Watson and combo guard Delonte West.

Sonics' Coach P.J. Carlesimo said he wanted to give West more minutes at shooting guard, but that wasn't the case Wednesday. He and Watson each had six assists at point.

Available free-agent guards are John Lucas, Earl Boykins, Junior Harrington, Keith McLeod and, oh yes, Gary Payton, who has yet to retire. Or the Sonics could re-sign Jermaine Jackson.
