"Taking over for a legendary coach after an unexpected midseason resignation seems difficult enough on its own.

Injuries are adding an extra degree of difficulty for Ty Corbin.

Already shorthanded, the Utah Jazz finished Friday night's loss even more undermanned after Andrei Kirilenko sprained his right ankle and left the game in the first half.

X-rays came back negative, but Kirilenko was unable to participate in the first Corbin-led practice Saturday. Listed as day-to-day, it's uncertain whether or not the starting small forward — who recently missed a week due to a sprained left ankle — will be available come Tuesday when the Jazz next play in Phoenix.

The status of Raja Bell (strained left calf) and Ronnie Price (sprained right big toe) is also unknown. Both players missed Friday's game, and their participation in Saturday's practice was limited. They are also considered day-to-day.

Because of that uncertainty, along with center Mehmet Okur's absence for at least another couple of weeks with his strained lower back rehab, Corbin said it's possible the Jazz could pursue a 14th player on a 10-day contract.

"It may be something that we have to look at little bit more, but right now it's just a little bit too early," Corbin said. "It depends on how guys heal up. If they can come back and play, we may not need anybody."
