CLEVELAND — Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Mehmet Okur and Matt Harpring all will not play when the Jazz visit the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.

Williams remains out due to a sprained left ankle and Kirilenko remains out because of a sprained fingertip on his right hand. Okur is still not with the team due to being in Turkey visiting his seriously ill father.

Harpring has played in two games after missing the start of the season due to off-season ankle surgery, and subsequent infection in the joint, but will not be able to play in the second game of a back-to-back set.

The Jazz lost Friday night in Charlotte, 104-96.

They will close out a five-game trip with just 11 players on their active roster tonight.
