Carlos Boozer's career season has been put on hold.
The Jazz announced Wednesday that Boozer has a broken bone in his left leg and will be sidelined four to five weeks.
Utah's leading scorer and rebounder, Boozer underwent an MRI and a series of X-rays, which revealed a hairline fracture of his left fibula. The 6-9 forward suffered the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's loss to the Hornets.

With a five-game road trip finally about to end, Vince Carter had a choice between trying to extend it another few minutes or take a shot at ending it from 35 feet away.
Carter opted against the overtime and beat the buzzer and the Utah Jazz with a 3-pointer that gave New Jersey a 116-115 win Monday, ending a trip that started miserably with consecutive wins.
"It's a great feeling," Carter said after scoring 33 points and sparking a mad celebration before the buzzer had stopped ringing.
Carter got the shot off, watched it go in and then waved goodbye to the Jazz bench before he was tackled by the rest of the Nets, who began their Western swing with three consecutive one-point losses.
"I knew that (Jason) Kidd was fast with the ball, but he's even faster without the ball. By the time I turned around he was right up on me," Carter said.
