Utah Jazz: Brewer, Price make it through practice

Both Ronnie Brewer and Ronnie Price made it through all of Jazz practice today, including a team scrimmage.

But Price is being called a "gametime decision" by the club for Wednesday night's 2009-10 NBA regular-season opener at Denver.

The combo guard from Utah Valley missed the Jazz's final four preseason games due to a hamstring strain.

Brewer, the Jazz's starting guard, missed Friday night's preseason-ending win at Sacramento due to back spasms.

He practiced both Sunday and today, though.

If Price is able play Wednesday, the Jazz should have 11 healthy players available.

Missing will be backup shooting guard Kyle Korver, who is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday in New York to remove a bone spur from his left knee; last season's starting small forward, C.J. Miles, who continues to recovery from surgery to repair a ruptured thumb ligament on his left, shooting hand; and veteran forward Matt Harpring, who is unlikely to play this season because of chronic ankle and knee injuries.
