To clarify, that article says he averaged 11 points per game. NBA.com lists him as averaging 4.4 points per game, but 11 MINUTES per game.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Veteran forward Matt Harpring will not take part in the team's training camp or preseason and will miss the start of the regular NBA season.
Harpring has been plagued by knee injuries and an ankle problem. Last year he developed a strep infection after a June surgery to remove a bone spur in his right ankle.
Utah Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor made the announcement Wednesday that Harpring can't play for now and that his status will be re-evaluated in six weeks.
Harpring has said he's unsure whether he'll be able to play again.
Harpring has appeared in 665 games over 11 seasons with Orlando, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Utah. He was signed by the Jazz in 2002. Last season he averaged 11 points and 2 rebounds in 63 games.

The Jazz need a wing to replace him and to get to the 13 player roster minimum. Dupree is signed to a non-guaranteed contract and could make the team, but he's a marginal player. Two better options include: J. Graham and Udoka. Graham's athleticism would help the un-athletic Jazz, while Udoka is just the type of tough, rugged player Sloan likes. Plus, both are low key, team oriented players who should fit seamlessly into the Jazz' culture.

He used to be pretty hard nosed, but, like all the Jazz they softened up and exposed their collective balloon knots for the Lakers in Round One. It was sweet.
How exactly are we un-athletic?? This coming from a spurs fan?? Please tell me where we are lacking athleticism?? The center position?? is that what you are talking about? Have you seen ronnie brewer or cj miles dunk? Even AK is like a pogo stick. Paul millsap?? I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Jazzy, honeybun, Sloan has literally killed their will to even muster much more than their check cashing duties.
Good morning, Jazzy!!!!!!!!
You keep talkin, but never make any sense. I really don't think your that stupid, so you must be playin games. You like playing games don't you.
Now be a good boy and go play pin the on the chili ring. I hear you're famous for that in lakerland!
Makes sense. This is lakerland, Jazzy.
WOOT!
Good 'em!!! Talentless bruiser...
Paul quit yer whining. Since when is basketball a pussies game?
Dude, all he does is shove people around. He's like Karl Malone with duller elbows and no talent.
Dudes a white guy with an education going up against all these black bulls and who is the one crying all the time?? Amazes me how soft basketball has gotten in the span of 10 years. " oh, you touched me"
Don't be that guy Paul. Don't be the guy you ball with that waits for his shot to roll off the rim and then cries foul.
Harpring wasn't relevant last season, so this doesn't make the Jazz worse. the problem is, they still don't know how much problems they will face. fans should remember last April, because that's the level of this team. (talking also about the last games of the regular season). they will stink from the beginning, then desperately try to somehow dump Boozer for tax reasons, play a 40 win season and miss the PO.
"fans should remember last April"
Laker fans remember, eh, Jazzy?
tee, hee.
They won 13/16 in the span without Boozer. He came back and thats when they plummeted. I can tell you that DWill does not like Boozer and would prefer him gone. That is a major problem. I don't know if these two can coexist.
Hey STFU....since he's a white boy mormon who loves Jesus he isn't dirty at all.
lmao!!! The T-Mac Effect moves to Utah! You mean you're better WITHOUT Boozer, Jazzy?
DoK STFU! he is from the dirty south and he still lives in the ATL. you little munchkin!
Son I ain't little. I guess I shouldn't make too much fun of Matt Harping since on facebook the quiz I took said I play most like Matt Harpring and Bill Laimeer.
You should play against paul. He would cry foul on his way down to the floor.
I wouldn't be the one guarding him, but once he got by whoever was guarding him, I'd be sitting right there ready to play DoK's patented "Foul the out of you" defense.
dude was a BS artist. wish him nothing but the worst.
LoL rockettes fans crack me up.
dude was a BS artist. wish him nothing but the worst.
some ppl are pussies around here. Dude was a tough banger. ala Rodman/Varejao/Najera/Madsen/Scola. Every team needs one of those. He was extra tough cause of all those steroids he took. Yeah he was a bit dirty but again, every succesful team needs one of those.
you sir speak the truth. Let me bump this post one more time!
Bump!
