Phoenix, AZ (AHN) - Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire sustained a dislocated left pinky finger in Thursday's preseason win over the Oklahoma City Thunder 102-93. Stoudemire tallied 17 points before the incident.

Stoudemire sustained the injury with 3:45 remaining in the third period.

Phoenix said the injury was minor and the All-Star should be ready when the Suns head for San Antonio for their season opener Wednesday.

Steve Nash and reserve Leandro Barbosa pumped in 15 points apiece for the Suns, who finished the preseason with a 5-3 record.

Rookie point guard Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with 22 markers, six rebounds and four assists.

Kevin Durant added 19 points and Johan Petro chipped in 17 for Oklahoma City, which dropped to 1-5 in the preseason.

The Thunder will cap the preseason when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers Friday. On Wednesday, they open the season against Milwaukee at home.
