Depending on how the playoff race and offseason shake out, Friday could be Paul Millsap's last home game as a member of the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz will host the Minnesota Timberwolves before finishing the regular season in Minnesota and Memphis. They enter Friday night's action a game back of the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth seed in the Western Conference.

Millsap is the longest-tenured member of the Jazz.

"I don't approach it differently than any other game, especially in these past few weeks," he said. "The main focus, the main goal, is to win."

He has been a member of the franchise since 2006.

"I don't have enough time to really talk about it. It's been a long road — a long, long, long time being here. Seen a lot. Done a lot," Millsap said. "(I've) met some great people and everybody that I've met (here) has been a part of my growth, has been part of me getting better as a person, as a basketball player.

"I owe a lot to this community," Millsap added. "I owe a lot to this organization."

Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter will undergo a surgical repair on his injured left shoulder.

The procedure will be performed on Wednesday, April 10 in Chicago by Dr. Guido Marra. As a result, Kanter will miss the remainder of the season.

He suffered the injury at the 10:23 mark of the second quarter of the Jazz's 103-88 win over Phoenix on March 27 and has not played since. Prior to his injury, Kanter had seen action in 136 of a possible 138 games over his first two seasons with the Jazz.

The Utah Jazz haven't announced an official timetable for Enes Kanter to return, but it seems unlikely that he'll play again this season.

Kanter dislocated his right shoulder on March 27 against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed Utah's last six games.

He was in New York on Monday, consulting with doctors about the injury.

The Utah Jazz have signed Jerel McNeal for the remainder of the season.

McNeal, a 6-foot-3 guard, averaged 18.1 points, 5.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 44 games for the Bakersfield Jam this season.

J.R. Smith and Al Jefferson have been named the NBA's Players of the Week.

Smith led the Knicks to a 4-0 week which included two wins over the Boston Celtics and a win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Smith averaged 29.8 points (second in the league), 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals. He tallied three consecutive 30-plus point performances off the bench to open the week, including a season-high 37 on March 29 during a 111-102 win over the Charlotte Bobcats. The last NBA player to score 30-or-more off the bench in three consecutive games was the Milwaukee Bucks' Ricky Pierce in 1990.

Jefferson led the Jazz to a 4-0 record, which helped Utah pull back into a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference -- both teams own 38-36 (.514) records. He averaged 19.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.25 steals and 1.5 blocks. Jefferson's displayed his versatility with 20 points, seven rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks as the Jazz topped the Brooklyn Nets 116-107 on March 30 to seal the undefeated week.
