Bad News…
Carlos Boozer is out for 3 – 5 weeks with a hairline fracture in his knee. Pick up Paul Millsap immediately if you need rebounds and FG%.
SALT LAKE CITY (January 31, 2007) – The Utah Jazz announced today that a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and additional x-rays revealed a hairline fracture in Carlos Boozer’s left fibula head. Jazz physician Dr. Lyle Mason treated Boozer and identified the hairline fracture, which was then confirmed by a second opinion. Injuries of this nature typically take four to five weeks to fully heal.
I said preseason that Boozer just seems to fall on bad luck every year. This is the latest in a very promising career that is consistently being hampered by bad luck.
If you are an adventurous owner you may want to throw some buy low trades at AK-47. As I posted Yesterday Boozer has been going Tom Brady on Bledsoe-47. Without Carlos Boozer in the lineup I expect AK-47 to see a jump in rebounds and blocks. I do not foresee his points jumping to much because the offense has found other weapons, but you never know.
