"Hopefully we can see where he is on Wednesday," Sloan said prior to the Jazz's exhibition visit with Portland, "and if he feels like playing, then maybe we can get him on the floor and see where he is." Even if Fisher isn't ready to go Thursday, he may be still be ready for Utah's Nov. 1 regular-season opener vs. Houston. Sloan, though, isn't ready to commit to how many minutes Fisher can expect ? or if he'll start. "I just have to see where he is," the Jazz coach said. "Now he's behind some of the stuff we've done, so I just have to try to work that out," he added. "I don't like for a guy to be totally uncomfortable with what we're doing, and hopefully (comfortable) is where we can get him in the next few days." Not that catching up can't be quick. "I don't think he'll have a problem with it," Sloan said of Fisher, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Golden State, understanding what he's missed. "We're not that difficult."</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
