<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Jazz aren't ready to elaborate, but apparently Andrei Kirilenko's back problems are not going to linger. Kirilenko returned to Salt Lake ahead of his teammates Friday after consulting specialists in Los Angeles about why his back pain, which forced him out of the game during the second quarter last Saturday in Milwaukee, were not subsiding. The team is reviewing Kirilenko's medical records and plans to say more about the Russian forward's injury Monday. But season-ticket holders were informed by e-mail Friday that "there is good news about Andrei, and he will be back sooner than expected." Kevin O'Connor, the Jazz's senior vice president of basketball operations, did not return a call seeking information about Kirilenko. The forward has now missed 10 games this season, the first seven due to a sprained ankle. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
