    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz trainer Gary Briggs resorted to complicated medical jargon to describe Carlos Boozer's condition: "It's one step forward," Briggs said, "and two steps back."
    Just hours after Boozer spoke with conviction and excitement Monday about progress in his recovery from a lingering hamstring strain, the Jazz forward reinjured his left leg again. So forget about Boozer practicing with the team this week, and stop daydreaming about a dramatic return to the lineup this weekend. It's as if the last couple of weeks never happened.
    "It's very similar to the tweak" Boozer suffered on Oct. 31, Briggs said.
    Boozer skipped the Jazz's trip to Sacramento in order to have an MRI done on his left hamstring. The test showed what the Jazz already knew, Briggs said: The hamstring still hasn't healed.
    "We had some other people look at the test," Briggs said. "I'd say we're back to square one." </div>

    He's out <u>at least</u> another month with the hamstring.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">November 17, 2005
    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah forward Carlos Boozer will miss at least another month because of a hamstring injury that has kept him from playing this season.

    The Jazz said Thursday that Boozer, idle since February because of injuries, felt a pop in his left hamstring in a drill Monday. An MRI showed that the strain in his muscle appeared to be worse.

    "Once the swelling and inflammation subside, we will then turn back the clocks and begin rehab anew," team orthopedist Dr. Lyle Mason said in a statement.


    Mason said Boozer will be off the court for at least a month while resting the hamstring.

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

    Boozer averaged a team-high 17.8 points and 9.0 rebounds in 51 games before missing the rest of the season with the foot injury. </div>
