Sonics forward Chris Wilcox was arrested last Saturday by the Bladen County Sherriff's Department in North Carolina and charged with two counts of carrying a concealed weapon.
It's believed Wilcox was a passenger in car being driven by Carlos DeAndre Gathers, who was arrested on the same charges. Both were taken into custody and booked at the Bladen County Jail on a $500 bond.
Messages to Wilcox, a Whiteville, N.C. native, were not returned.
"Chris has made us aware of the situation," Sonics spokesman Tom Savage said. "We are in the process of gathering more information and we'll have further comment at the appropriate time."
Wilcox, 25, has played 2 ½ seasons with the Sonics since joining the team Feb. 14, 2006 in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers. He has two years remaining on his contract and will earn $13.25 million.
This season, Wilcox averaged 13.4 points and 7.0 rebounds in 62 games. He missed 18 games, including the final month of the season, because of a dislocated right pinkie.
