A few tidbits from preseason practice Tuesday for the Jazz, who open their eight-game exhibition scheduled Wednesday night vs. Milwaukee at EnergySolutions Arena:

• Veteran backup small forward Matt Harpring again was limited only to non-contact drills while rehabbing his surgically repaired knee, and his status for Wednesday night was uncertain;

• Second-round rookie Kyrylo Fesenko was at the practice facility, but did not work out due to a case of suspected food poisoning;

• Starting power forward Carlos Boozer, still in Miami while one of his young sons recovers from a bone marrow transplant related to his battle with sickle cell anemia, was absent again; and

• Coach Jerry Sloan said that with Boozer still gone, backup Paul Millsap probably would start at power forward against the Bucks.
