    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY (Ticker) - The Utah Jazz will have to make due without starting point guard Keith McLeod for a little longer than expected.

    McLeod, who has not played since last Sunday, was diagnosed with a small fracture in his lower back Saturday and will be out for at least another two weeks.

    The 26-year-old McLeod suffered the injury in Utah's 103-98 loss in Chicago and was originally diagnosed with a bruise. However, McLeod's back spasms did not subside and X-rays revealed the fracture.

    "This is not drastically different than what we originally diagnosed," Jazz orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Mason said. "It will just take a little longer to heal. Keith can return to play as soon as he's comfortable, which will be once the muscles can fire without pain." </div>

    Yet another injury for the Jazz to deal with.
