The Jazz practiced today without starting shooting guard Ronnie Brewer, who sat out due to a sore right hamstring.
Brewer, however, is being called "probable" by the Jazz for Friday night's Game 6 of Utah's first-round NBA playoff series with the Houston Rockets.
Brewer missed three regular-season games in late March and early April due to a strained right groin, and missed much of this past July's Rocky Mountain Revue summer league with a strained right hamstring.
The University of Arkansas product has been the Jazz's chief early game defender on Rockets star Tracy McGrady.
Brewer is averaging 8.6 points per game and 0.8 steals per game in the best-of-7 series, which Utah leads 3-2.
