HARPRING MRI: Jazz reserve forward Matt Harpring didn't dress against the Nets due to a strained lower back sustained during warmups before last Monday's game against Chicago.

He is scheduled to undergo an MRI test on the back today, the Jazz announced after Saturday's game.

All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer (strained left quadriceps tendon), reserve point guard Brevin Knight (sprained left index finger) and out-indefinitely reserve big man Jarron Collins (swollen right elbow) all also did not play Saturday. Knight indicated he might be able to play Tuesday at Sacramento.

WILLIAMS DECISION: Jazz point guard Deron Williams considered himself "50-50" for Saturday's game, but ultimately decided to play even though it was the back end of a back-to-back set and his sprained left ankle still is less than 100 percent.

"It was a little tougher today that it was (Friday). But it's not making excuses," said Williams. "I think I could have done a little better job out there handling the ball. I threw a couple passes away. And we could got have gotten out and run a little more."
