The Salt Lake Tribune reported Thursday that Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko will miss Friday night’s game as the Jazz travel to Phoenix to face the Suns. Kirilenko will miss his second straight game, he missed Wednesday night’s contest, in which Utah defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran forward was injured Monday night in a win against the Dallas?Mavericks as Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki knocked him to the floor in the first quarter, when he was heading to the basket for a layup.? Kirilenko fell to the ground and fell on his hip, he was taken to the hospital but x-rays showed no broken bones. Game officials ruled the penalty a ?Flagrant Foul 1″ but the NBA has since upgraded it to a ?Flagrant Foul 2.? Had it originally been ruled as the upgraded foul the Mavericks veteran would have been immediately ejected from the game.? Nowitzki will miss?Thursday night?s contest when the Mavericks host the red hot Houston Rockets.
