Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko did not practice today due to a headache stemming from a blow to the jaw and eye area he took during the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's win over Portland.
The Jazz are calling Kirilenko, who finished Wednesday's game, "probable" for Friday night's meeting with Oklahoma City at EnergySolutions Arena.
Meanwhile, reserve big man Jarron Collins (bruised elbow/bursitis/triceps strain) will not play Friday. He has been out all season.
Would-be starting point guard Deron Williams (sprained ankle) and reserve forward Matt Harpring (ankle rehab) also have been out all season.
The Jazz are calling both "doubtful" for Friday, though Williams said this morning that he will be a "game-time decision."
