In fact, he has played more than eight minutes in only one of the Utah's last eight games. Second-season forward Kris Humphries has dressed for but did not play in the Jazz's last four games and five of the last eight. He has played more than eight minutes once in the last 11 games. Healthy rookie guard Andre Owens has not played since Dec. 21, dressing but not appearing in four games since then and watching from behind the bench while on the inactive list for the other seven. Rookie shooting guard C.J. Miles has not played since Dec. 20 and has appeared in only two games since Dec. 1. He has been assigned to affiliate of the NBA Development League while the Jazz have played their last five games and was healthy but inactive for seven straight games prior to that. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the 19-18 Jazz have turned their season around since Christmas ? relying on a strong dose of healthy, more-veteran players to win eight of their last 10. "It's pretty tough to play 12 guys," coach Jerry Sloan said Sunday, "when Andrei (Kirilenko) is playing 40 minutes, and Memo (Okur) and those guys are playing some pretty good numbers."</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
