"I'll probably be in bed," Sloan said before the Jazz's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at EnergySolutions Arena, "as soon as I can get out of here."

STANDING PAT: With veteran NBA big man Marc Jackson reportedly getting unexpectedly released this week by his Greek team Olympiacos Piraeus, Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor was asked Friday if Utah planned any late-season roster moves.

"I think we're gonna stand pat," O'Connor said.

The Jazz are likely to recall rookies Kyrylo Fesenko and Morris Almond, though, after their season with the NBA Development League's Utah Flash ends.

MISC.: The Clippers on Friday signed forward Marcus Williams from Austin of the D League and waived veteran forward Aaron Williams, who played six games for the Jazz in the 1993-94 season. Marcus Williams, a rookie from the University of Arizona, played game for San Antonio in December. Aaron Williams has been injured for much of the season. ... The Jazz have now won 10 straight home games and are 32-1 all-time at home vs. the Clippers, who were without injured Elton Brand and Shaun Livingston, as they have been all season. ... The extent of Andrei Kirilenko's calf injury Friday was not immediately made known, but he reportedly was seen leaving EnergySolutions Arena in a walking boot.
