Jazz forward Carlos Boozer and center Mehmet Okur both sat out the pregame shootaround and will wait until they warm up before Friday night's game to decide if they'll be able to play against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Boozer, the NBA's third-leading scorer, suffered a sprained right ankle in the second quarter of Wednesday's victory over Philadelphia. He did say the swelling has gone down the last 48 hours. "Just trying to get that pain out of there," Boozer said.

Boozer played the entire second half of the Sixers game on the bad ankle. Okur, however, left the game in the third quarter with back spasms and did not return, although he came back from the locker room to watch from the bench in the fourth quarter.

Okur has been alternating between ice and heat treatments the last two days. He said, "I feel a lot better now but not 100 percent." Boozer went for X-rays, and Okur for an MRI exam Thursday that came back negative for more serious injuries.
