Forward Andrei Kirilenko has a sprained index finger on his right hand and will be a game-time decision for the Jazz's preseason visit to Denver on Wednesday night.

Kirilenko only did cardio work today and did not practice. X-rays performed on the finger were negative.

The Jazz are considering bringing the usual starting small forward off the bench this season.

Other game-time decisions for Wednesday are backup center Jarron Collins, who did not play in Sunday's exhibition win at Portland due to inflammation in his right elbow; reserve guard Ronnie Price, who didn't play in Portland because of a bruise in his lower right leg; and free agent guard Gerry McNamara, who missed today's practice because of a stomach virus.

Collins didn't practice today, and Price did not take part in

any contact work.

Reserve guard Brevin Knight also practiced sparingly because of a sprained left thumb, but he's listed as "probable" for Wednesday.

Also probable for Wednesday is rookie big man Kosta Koufos, who practiced today but is still bothered by a strained left hamstring.

Wednesday's preseason game is the second of four in a row on

the road, and the first of three in four nights for the Jazz.
