    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah forward Carlos Boozer's broken leg is healing, but perhaps not quickly enough for him to play in his first All-Star game, the Jazz said.

    Jazz vice president for basketball operations Kevin O'Connor on Thursday said tests showed the fracture below Boozer's left knee is getting better. His status for the All-Star game Feb. 18 will be up to Boozer and the NBA, which named him as a Western Conference reserve last week.

    Boozer was injured Jan. 27 in a game against the Hornets.

    Boozer said last week that he hoped he could still play in the All-Star game despite the injury. </div>

    I hope he gets to play. It's his first one and he really deserves it. Even if he only gets to play a few minutes. Get in there, get a dunk, and get out before you get hurt again, the Jazz need you lol.
