Russian forward Andrei Kirilenko will miss Utah's NBA game on Tuesday at Phoenix because of a sprained right ankle that also has him double for a Wednesday home matchup against Golden State.
Kirilenko is averaging 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists a game for the Jazz. He suffered the injury in a 95-83 home loss last Friday to Phoenix in the first game for new Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin.
After Wednesday, Kirilenko would have a week to rest the injury because of the NBA All-Star Game break.
