    NEW ORLEANS ? Last Saturday, the Jazz put Keon Clark on the injured list and announced the reserve big man would undergo surgery "within the next five days" to remove a chipped bone spur in his right ankle.
    As of Wednesday night ? four days later ? surgery had not even been scheduled. After returning from seeing Dr. Richard Ferkel in Los Angeles earlier this week, Jazz trainer Gary Briggs said, Clark has now received five medical opinions from five different doctors regarding the injury.
    The majority opinion seems to be that surgery is needed, but Ferkel told Briggs that Clark said he is "feeling better." So, now, Clark apparently is waiting for a CT scan to be read before a final decision is made.


    I hope Keon comes back as soon as possible, he could really help Utah at the moment. But I'd prefer he has surgery if he comes back without having surgery and within a few games gets a really bad injury.
    There's more atricles in there, the one on Curtis Borchardt's "rookie moment" is really funny.
