Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller says he won't attend Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals because it's being played on Sunday.

Miller, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, says he won't attend because of religious reasons.

The LDS church encourages members to avoid non-religious activities on Sundays.

Miller says he probably won't watch the game on TV or listen on radio. But his wife may watch the game and give him updates while he takes a long drive.

The Lakers-Jazz game will Utah's first Sunday home game since the 2001 playoffs.
