Sonics Coach Hill To Miss At Least One Game With Illness

Seattle SuperSonics coach Bob Hill has a respiratory infection that will cause him to miss at least one game, the team said Wednesday.

The Sonics played the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Assistant coach Gordon Chiesa coached the game.

A Sonics statement said Hill met with team doctor Jeffrey Cary on Wednesday after feeling ill and was advised to stay home and rest. Hill is taking antibiotics, and the Sonics hope he will return to coach Friday when Seattle hosts Utah.
