SALT LAKE CITY — Jazz small forward Andrei Kirilenko is out tonight and will not travel with the team for Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, a Jazz spokesman said this morning.
Kirilenko has a strained left calf.
He will receive hyperbaric treatment and take part in conditioning drills the rest of the week, and will be reevaluated Monday, one day before the Jazz play Oklahoma City.
Backup C.J. Miles again will start in Kirilenko's place when the Jazz face Golden State tonight in an ESPN televised game at EnergySolutions Arena.
