DECISION DEFERRED: The Jazz have been considering sending big man Kyrylo Fesenko and/or shooting guard Morris Almond to the Flash so they could play in two D-League Showcase games this week in Orem, but general manager Kevin O'Connor said Monday night that that decision has been deferred until today.

Both Fesenko and Almond were healthy but inactive Monday.
