All about Andrei

Utah's Andrei Kirilenko, sidelined since March 12 by a strained left calf, said today it's 50-50 that he could play in Game 2 on Tuesday. It's more likely that he'll play in Game 3 on Saturday in Salt Lake City. Asked how Kirilenko changes things, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said, "He brings a lot of energy." How effect Kirilenko can be after sitting out six weeks remains to be seen. The Jazz could use him after their loss to the Lakers in Game 1.
