<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz forward Matt Harpring has been placed on the injured list, the team announced Wednesday. Harpring, who had surgery on his right knee on Jan. 16, is out for the season. The team's leading scorer appeared in 31 games this season, averaging 16.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 36.6 minutes. The Jazz have had to wait to put Harpring on the injured list because their three spots were already filled until they traded Keon Clark and Ben Handlogten at last month's deadline. </div> Link
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BallerAK47:</div><div class="quote_post">Isn't this extremely old news</div> Yep, but the only important thing is that he's on the Injured list now, before Utah had no spots for him but with the Phoenix trade they do. This also free's up a roster spot, so someone should be signed soon (probably Mikki Moore or Paul Grant). Despite what the link says, Harpring isn't definitely gone for the season if he heals quick he could be back in time for the playoffs, if Utah get there. As I thought Mikki Moore has been signed for the rest of the season (he had 2 10 day contracts before), this explains the move more. ---------------------------------- On March 4, the Jazz re-signed C Mikki Moore on Thursday for the remainder of the season. Moore played for the Jazz on two 10-day contracts in January and February, averaging 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in eight games. Moore impressed coach Jerry Sloan enough in his short stay to fill the team's open roster spot, said Kevin O'Connor, Jazz vice president for basketball operations. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=uth
