Boozer out with fractured leg

01.31.2007

Salt Lake City, UT (Basketball News) - Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer will miss several weeks after being diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his left fibula head.

The injury was originally thought to be a bruised knee, but an MRI and additional X-rays confirmed the fracture. Boozer is expected to take four to five weeks to fully heal.

The forward suffered the injury at the 8:11 mark of the first quarter in the team’s game on Saturday against the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, when he collided with Tyson Chandler.

Boozer is averaging 22.1 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this season.
