    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer, who has yet to play this season, suffered a setback in his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury, a Salt Lake City television station reported Friday.

    According to KSL-TV, Boozer aggravated the injury during his workouts and there is now no timetable on his return to the active roster.

    Boozer hasn't played since Feb. 14, when he strained his right foot during a game. He said entering training camp that the foot was completely healed, but injured his hamstring in practice and did not play in a preseason game.</div>

    Wow talk about bad luck regarding injuries and Boozer for Jazz fans. It'll be a weird feeling seeing Boozer back in the Jazz lineup.

    Jazz: Boozer hammy not re-hurt

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rumors that Carlos Boozer re-tore his injured hamstring are untrue, but the Jazz forward did suffer something of a setback in his rehabilitation earlier this week, Jazz basketball boss Kevin O'Connor said Friday.
    O'Connor said Boozer's hamstring "tightened up."
    "He tweaked it a little bit, and stretched it a little bit, so he's backed up a little on what he's been doing," said O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations. "But it's not as if he's 're-hurt' or 're-injured.' "
    The setback is the sort of which can be expected for the type of injury Boozer is rehabbing, O'Connor suggested.
    Boozer had progressed to working out on the court recently, but now he is back to a rehab pool and an exercise bike.
    Boozer initially hurt his hamstring at the tail end of the first week of training camp in early October, then injured it again during subsequent rehab work, and has yet to play a game this season. In fact, the Duke University product who left Cleveland to sign a six-year, $68 million contract with Utah in the summer of 2004 has not played since last Feb. 14 due to the hamstring issues and a foot injury sustained last season.</div>
