Utah Jazz guard Gordan Giricek has returned to the team more than a week after he and Coach Jerry Sloan got into an argument on the bench during a game, and both men are pledging to leave their disagreements in the past.

The pair told Salt Lake City-area media that they were moving forward and focusing on the future after Giricek, Sloan and General Manager Kevin O'Connor met on Thursday. None of the three men would discuss the details of the meeting.

"The most important thing for everybody who loves the Jazz should be that we took care of the things and that we're going to move forward," Giricek said. "We left everything behind us. We move forward, the way it should be, not only in this situation but in your life, right?"

"Always move forward from any situation you have, and why not? We're paid professionals, and we're grown-up people, and we're going to do everything that's possible to help the team," Giricek said.
