PORTLAND, Ore. — Forward Andrei Kirilenko will play when the Jazz face Portland later tonight in a key NBA Northwest Division game.
Kirilenko missed the second half of Monday night's win over New York with a sprained right finger.
He sprained the finger when it got caught on the rim during second-quarter play, and did not return after the break.
Kirilenko said after Monday's game that he expected to be able to go tonight, and it was confirmed that he would just more than an hour before tonight's tip.
The Jazz go into tonight's game tied with Portland for second in the Northwest Division and fifth in the Western Conference. Both teams are 46-27.
