Andrei Kirilenko ran all the drills on Wednesday, and said he feels ready to play. But the Jazz want him to wait until at least Friday to test his sprained right ankle, so he watched last night's win over the Kings in street clothes.

"No problems. I'm a little worried about game speed, because practice isn't same," Kirilenko said. "I played three-on-three today, feels good. But there's big difference. We only use one basket."

The Russian forward, who sprained his ankle Nov. 11 in Milwaukee and had sat out four games, all Utah victories, before Wednesday, said it will take a week or so to get back into game shape.

In this condition, he said he's concerned about disrupting the roll the 10-1 Jazz are on.

"They're playing better without me, so I'll just do dirty work," Kirilenko said with a grin. "I don't want to break their play right now, they're so good."
