Player News (December 30, 2008) : Boozer

[Brazil]

News: Boozer, who is suffering from a strained quadriceps muscle and bruised knee, will undergo arthrosscopic surgery on his left knee, and will be sidelined for at least a month, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Spin: Once Paul Millsap (knee) is healthy, he should see the bulk of the power-forward minutes. Until that time, Andrei Kirilenko will man the position, while Kyle Korver gets a boost in playing time off the bench. Boozer's owners will want to be patient and stash him on reserve until he returns.
Didn't see posted, it sucks for Utah. I hope he will be back soon.

Considering this injury can we already consider the Jazz favorite for #9 seed ?

No

Yes this has already been posted, and yes this will most likely cost the Jazz a playoff spot.

I guess you guys never got the memo that Carlos Boozer absolutely sucks. This makes us better. Thinner, but with Boozer's minutes going to Millsap, better.

This may affect the jazz for a short time but honestly they will not miss the playoffs.. boozer is a piece of shit and millsap is going to be a fine replacement for him
