Seattle SuperSonics: Seattle rookie Nick Collison needs surgery on both shoulders and will miss the season.
"It's very disappointing. I've wanted to play in this league since I was 8 or 9, and now I'll be out for a year," the power forward said Saturday.
Collison was the 12th overall draft pick this year after leading Kansas to the NCAA championship game.
He averaged 18.5 points and 10 rebounds as a senior.
The 6-foot-9 Collison dislocated his left shoulder early this week, and later tests showed similar weakness in his right shoulder.
