Sonics reserve guard Ronald Murray suffered back spasms during warmups and was unable to play Tuesday night. Damien Wilkins and Mateen Cleaves assumed Murray's spot in the rotation, and they combined for eight points and four assists.

Backup forward Danny Fortson played just 4:27 and missed the second half of the loss to New Jersey after suffering an inflamed right big toe. Fortson said afterward that he's not sure if he'll be able to play tonight against Boston and is treating the injury with anti-inflammatory pills and rest.
