<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The offseason is a lot like the winter for the Jazz, at least so far. Meaning, two players are on crutches. But Raul Lopez and Matt Harpring, each of whom has underwent surgery on a knee recently, are on track for a return by training camp, according to Jazz trainer Gary Briggs. Lopez, who has spent the past four weeks in Salt Lake doing daily physical therapy on his left knee, returns to Spain today to be examined by the surgeon who repaired some damage under his kneecap in March. It was Lopez's fourth knee surgery in the past three years, but the first on his left knee. "Raul has absolutely no swelling now, so I'm almost positive his doctor will take him off the crutches next week," Briggs said. "He's been able to do low-resistance work on the bike, and straight-leg exercises. He'll be back in [late] June, and he might be ready to begin working light work on the court soon after that." </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
