    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Utah Jazz center Greg Ostertag said Thursday that the matter that caused him to be suspended indefinitely without pay will be resolved by Friday, when he said he plans to meet with coach Jerry Sloan about the incident that happened immediately following Wednesday night's loss in the Delta Center to Seattle.
    Jazz senior vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor had said prior to Thursday morning's practice, which Ostertag did not attend, that Ostertag had been suspended "indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team."
    "It involved an incident after the (Wednesday night) game," O'Connor said. "Since he's not at practice today, that's when (the suspension) started."
    The decision not to come to practice, said O'Connor, was Ostertag's own.
    "We did not tell him not to come to practice," O'Connor said.
    "They knew I wouldn't be there," Ostertag said Thursday afternoon. "I told Kevin (Wednesday) night.
    "It wouldn't have done me any good," Ostertag said, adding he had been up until "6 or 6:30 this morning" with a lot on his mind.</div>
