Jazz point guard, Keith McLeod played a little one-on-one basketball yesterday to test his injured hamstring. After playing, McLeod realized he would have to wait until after the All-Star break before he suits up again.
"It makes sense to give him that extra time, since we won't practice much," said Jazz trainer Gary Briggs. McLeod has made significant progress, the trainer said, but the injury is high in his thigh, making it difficult to wrap tightly. For that reason, the team wants to be cautious about McLeod's return, and since the Jazz don't play between next Tuesday and Feb. 23, there is no rush, Briggs said.
