Oklahoma City forward Chris Wilcox is expected to miss 10 to 14 days after dislocating his left ring finger.

Wilcox, who had started the last six games for the Thunder, was hurt midway through the first quarter of Oklahoma City's 108-102 loss to Memphis on Wednesday night.

Team spokesman Michael Ravina said on Thursday that physicians at McBride hospital re-set Wilcox's finger.

To bolster their front court, the Thunder called up 7-foot rookie center Steven Hill. He played in one game with the Thunder after signing as a free agent last month before being sent to the NBDL team in Tulsa.

Wilcox missed four games earlier this season with a knee injury, but returned to average 13.7 points over a seven-game span in which he started for the first time this season.
