    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Kirilenko, who injured a ligament in his right knee on Nov. 27, won't even begin to rehabilitate the sprained MCL until the Jazz return from their upcoming eastern road trip at Christmas, the Jazz's medical staff has determined. While nobody can predict how long a rehab will be necessary, don't expect to see the Jazz's all-star in uniform for another month.
    "He understands this is a slow process," said Jazz trainer Gary Briggs. "We're still in the healing process now. [After Christmas], we'll get to the rehab phase."

    Sounds a lot worse than what I thought. I hope the Jazz now relieze that they have to win without Kirilenko if they want any chance of the playoffs.

    That's a tough break, but the Jazz have been underperforming even taking into account Kirilenko's absence. If they played like they're capable of, they should be able to still win most games while Kirilenko is out.

    Kirilenko progressing toward recovery

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jazz All-Star forward Andrei Kirilenko is making progress healing his partially torn right-knee medial collateral ligament, but the team is taking it very cautiously with him.
    He has been getting hyperbaric (oxygen under pressure) treatments in Bountiful but finished that process Wednesday, a bit of a milestone. "Today we moved to the next level," said trainer Gary Briggs.</div>
