Jazz Defeat Pacers; Lose Fisher

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Deron Williams was impressive, but it wasn't quite the same for his backcourt mate.

Williams collected 24 points and three steals and Carlos Boozer added 11 points and 14 rebounds as the Utah Jazz posted a 97-84 preseason victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Despite the win, the Jazz suffered a setback to their backcourt when starter Derek Fisher, who was acquired from Golden State via a trade, fell on his back and head on a layup attempt in the first quarter. Fisher was carried off the court and taken to a local hospital for X-rays. </div>

ESPN Boxscore

Kirilenko sat out with a sore lower back.

 

Season hasn't even started and we are already dealing with injuries..... sounds good...

 

If that wasn't enough, Sloan has already questioned Kirilenko's honesty and stated publicly that Boozer needs to work harder on defense.

 

Oh boy...atleast they're getting injured now...maybe that means they'll be healthy in the 2nd half of the season
