The injury trend has become encouraging for the Jazz, with Deron Williams return from a sprained left ankle Wednesday set to be followed by Kyle Korver's from a sprained right wrist for Friday's game against Sacramento.
"It's definitely been tough the last month or so with everyone being hurt," Korver said, "but I think we're getting back to the point now where guys are getting healthy and we can start to get some rhythm back and showing what kind of team we really can be."
Williams said his ankle was "pretty sore" after playing 29 minutes in Wednesday's victory over Memphis. He will play Friday but is uncertain about Saturday, when the Jazz will play the second in a rare set of home back-to-back games.
"It'll be easier, it'll definitely be easier," Williams said of the home back-to-back, "but it's going to be sore regardless on a back-to-back. That's the thing I'm worried about is it being too sore and affecting me during the game."
Korver missed three games after re-aggravating his wrist, but said he shot around Friday and has "been surprised at how well it's felt." He has been cautious about giving himself enough time to rest and allow the wrist to heal completely.
"It's getting pretty close," Korver said. "I wouldn't say it's 100 percent yet, but I think to wait until it was 100 percent, I'd have to wait quite a while. Hopefully it's just something, if you go down, try to roll to the left and see what happens."
The Jazz will play without Carlos Boozer, who will miss a fourth game with a strained left quadriceps tendon, as well as Brevin Knight (sprained left index finger) and Matt Harpring, who described himself as being back to "square one" with his sore back.
