Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said he intends to have Boozer take part in a 3-on-3 workout today in Phoenix but suggested it was unlikely he'd play Monday night against the Suns.

MISC.: The Jazz are in the midst of playing four exhibition games over six nights — in four different time zones (at home, Detroit, Saturday's win at Milwaukee and Phoenix) ... Recent reports have suggested that the Jazz turned down an offseason trade that would have sent Phoenix forward Shawn Marion to Utah straight up for Kirilenko, but a Jazz source on Saturday suggested the rejected overture was much more complicated than that ... As expected, forward Matt Harpring (knee and ankle rehab), shooting guard C.J. Miles (grandmother's funeral) and free-agent forward Donnell Harvey (intestinal flu) all did not play Saturday. Harpring and Harvey both worked out before the game; Miles plans to re-join the team in Phoenix ... Former Jazz guard Mo Williams didn't play (sore shoulder) when Milwaukee visited Utah last Wednesday, but he scored a team-high 22 points Saturday ... Ex-Jazz big man Michael Ruffin played just seven minutes, but appears en route to securing a roster spot with the Bucks ... Former University of Utah star Andrew Bogut had seven rebounds and 10 points, including a game-opening dunk, in 22 minutes for Milwaukee.
