Borchardt did not dress because during warmups he experienced soreness in his previously surgically repaired right foot, which essentially is held together by surgical pins.

McLeod sustained a groin strain during a pre-game workout, then aggravated the injury while playing in the second quarter. He did not return for the second half.

Borchardt underwent a CT scan on Sunday. Results of that test were negative for serious bone damage, Jazz spokesman Kim Turner said Sunday night.

O'Connor said Sunday it's possible both Borchardt and McLeod will be able to play Tuesday night against the Suns.

"When they had treatment, they seemed to be okay," O'Connor said of the two. "It's going to depend on how they practice (today)."

As for Kirilenko, he almost certainly will not practice today.

Neither he nor the Jazz, however, have a precise timetable for his return. It's possible he may have to play with a brace when he does come back, but that also remains to be seen.

"It's first time I have this kind of injury," Kirilenko said, "so I don't have any idea."

"Obviously," Briggs added after Saturday night's game, "we are not going to put him back in there (prematurely), the way he plays."
