Utah’s Kirilenko activated from injured list 01.22.2005
|
Kirilenko had missed the past 26 contests with a knee injury and the Jazz were a dismal 6-20 without the All-Star in the lineup.
The 23-year-old Kirilenko sprained a ligament in his right knee during a game against San Antonio on November 27 and the rehabilitation for the injury took longer than originally expected.
Kirilenko, who is in his fourth NBA campaign, is averaging 14.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per contest in 14 games this year.
To make room for Kirilenko, Utah placed forward Kirk Snyder on the injured list with a knee injury.
