    Boozer Out At Least 1 Month


    by Ryne Nelson

    Carlos Boozer’s strained quad kept him out of action for over a month already, so what’s another month on top of that? Boozer, who missed 21 of the Jazz’s 33 games this season, is scheduled to undergo surgery Jan. 9. This means Boozer will be targeting a mid-February return.

    From the Salt Lake Tribune:

    Utah Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer will undergo surgery, probably next week, and will be sidelined for at least a month, Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin O’Connor said Tuesday afternoon.

    Injuries have not been kind to the Jazz this season. Only C.J. Miles has played every game (and started each time as well). The team luckily has a very capable backup in Paul “The Paperboy” Millsap to handle the load while Boozer’s gone. But the Jazz now need to be a bit more concerned about Phoenix gaining ground in another tight Western Conf. Playoff race.

      You know, the combo of Arenas, Boozer, T-Mac, and Camby on my fantasy team has been very troubling

      Haha! Thank you Carlos for making my pick up of Paul Millsap look even more genius!

      Sorry for the Betrayal Skull Dude, but he’s just getting burned for being Fan Gu Zai.

      Karma is a b!tch.

    • Tzvi T Posted: Dec.30 at 7:24 pm

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.30 at 7:26 pm
      For the record i hate him. And Tzvi, Boozer is only gonna be got for huge $$$ so i dont see anyone getting him 4 cheap.

    • Tzvi T Posted: Dec.30 at 7:30 pm
      @betcats Yeh I was playin’. By pay cut I meant just under max, instead of actual max money.

    • RV Posted: Dec.30 at 7:49 pm
      B Long, i can’t tell if your comment is aimed at Jukai or Boozer……and Paul Millsap is also out..

    • B. Long Posted: Dec.30 at 8:21 pm
      How long is Paul Millie out? And that was for Betrayal Skull Head Fu(ker or what ever they call him.

    • RV Posted: Dec.30 at 9:13 pm
      i think he has a knee sprain and is suppose to be out about one week, but that was like 4 days ago…

      the Nba, where screwing over a blind man makes the basketball gods screw you back indefinetely….happens.

      Why the hell do you need surgery for a “strain”? But maybe it isn’t a strain and he has been selected for extreme makeover and he will need until mid-February to heal from all the hideous plastic surgery he will receive.

      Life is unkind to people with uni-brows.

    • BETCATS Posted: Dec.31 at 7:57 am
      ^Lil Webbie disagrees with that

    • LAN Posted: Dec.31 at 8:56 am
      lol someone explain to me why everyone hates boozer on this site… imo he is the 3rd best pf in the league

    • I am the walrus Posted: Dec.31 at 9:04 am
      @ Lan: We hate Carlos Boozer beacuse we can, and because he has thick eye-brows, but mostly beacuse we can.

    • Darksaber Posted: Jan.1 at 2:29 am
      yes Lan, yes (because) we can :-)
