The Jazz aren't sure if forward Matt Harpring will be able to play when the season kicks off later this month because of multiple issues with his right ankle.

"He's not here," Utah Coach Jerry Sloan said. "You have to cross him off until he comes back, then worry about it when he comes back. I'm too old to worry about that all night long."

Harpring had surgery on his right ankle, and he subsequently suffered an infection in the ankle.
