Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko was held out of practice but was on the team's flight Wednesday afternoon to San Antonio and is considered probable to play in tonight's game against the Spurs. Kirilenko suffered a mild concussion Tuesday in the 102-92 win over the Los Angeles Clippers at EnergySolutions Arena.
Tests Wednesday morning showed nothing of concern.
Dr. Lyle Mason said Kirilenko was hit twice with elbows in the chin and forehead as he tried to defend a shot by Corey Maggette with 5:51 left in Tuesday's second quarter. Kirilenko had a headache later and did not return.
Jazz forward Matt Harpring, still out with a stomach virus, did not make the San Antonio trip.
