Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko was sent home from Thursday's practice with flu-like symptoms and will be considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center in L.A.

Jazz senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said Thursday that Kirilenko was sent home "because he was sick," and that it was not because he was being traded. He has not been traded.

The NBA trade deadline for the season was at 1 p.m. Thursday, and the Jazz made no deals.

Power forward Carlos Boozer, who missed Wednesday's practice and an evening autograph session due to a sore lower back that has been bothering him for a few weeks but "flared up" in Tuesday's game against Golden State, was back practicing Thursday and expects to play Friday.

Forward Matt Harpring, who resprained his left wrist Tuesday, practiced both Wednesday and Thursday.
