    Whaley needed six stitches to close a laceration in his right hand over the weekend, and on Monday he blamed the injury on a kitchen-knife mishap involving his 2-year-old son.
    On Tuesday, however, Jazz officials were reexamining the story Whaley told both them and media members.
    "I have no comments until I know all the facts," said Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations.
    Later Tuesday night, KSL-TV Ch. 5 reported that Whaley was thought to be involved in a skirmish at a popular private club for members in Park City.
    It's believed Whaley and at least one teammate were at the night club when an incident developed involving them, other patrons and a bouncer employed by the bar.
    The Jazz players are thought to have been questioned by Park City police, but neither was arrested or charged in the matter.
    On Tuesday night, a Park City police dispatcher said the department would not discuss the case until sometime today.</div>
