Even though he sat out Saturday's game with a strained right biceps tendon, Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko was encouraged the injury wouldn't keep him out an extended period.

For now, Kirilenko is listed as day to day after he got tangled up with Lakers' forward Trevor Ariza in the first quarter of Friday's loss and had his arm awkwardly jerked back.

Kirilenko tried to play in the second quarter and did not return in the second half. He walked out of the locker room after the game with his arm in a sling. Although he wasn't feeling pain, Kirilenko also said he didn't have any strength in the arm, especially when he tried to raise it.

"I was trying to get back after [the injury], but like pass and like shoot, I feels like it's completely dead," Kirilenko said.
