CSKA says Ex-Jazz's Kirilenko could be out until January; agent unaware of development



Published on Nov 28, 2011 03:53PM 0 Comments
Former Utah Jazz forward Andrei Kirilenko could be out until January, according to a report on CSKA Moscow's website.

Kirilenko broke his nose and injured his left shoulder Nov. 19 while playing for CSKA.

The team said Monday additional tests showed "contusion changes in the muscles and ligaments of the left shoulder [that] will require long-term therapeutic measures." An extended rehabilitation period will be required, according to the team, and Kirilenko is expected to miss CSKA's remaining games through 2011.
"I know nothing about it," agent Marc Fleisher told The Salt Lake Tribune. "Andrei told me yesterday or the day before … the doctors just wanted to give his broken nose another four or five days to recover and he was going to wear a mask. Nothing about his shoulder hurting. Nothing about anything like that."
Fleisher previously said Monday that Kirilenko will weigh returning to the NBA as an unrestricted free agent versus remaining in Russia to play with CSKA.

Just another reason we shouldn't resign AK.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, there is a video of a nasty fall he took.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Maybe he will have gotten his annual 3-6 week injury out of the way by the time he plays in the NBA though.

 

[Cope]

Well... so much for bringing AK back to Salt Lake for 4 Million a year......

 

[LogGrad98]

Wow. The last thing he needed was a more crooked nose.

 

[LogGrad98]

AK will not play again in the NBA. He has found his home. I wish him luck and a speedy recovery.

...Klinko has become worthless....cut him.

He's not on the team moran.

He's not on the team moran.

.....I thought he was still under contract with us for one more year?

So funny on so many levels. An insult focused on someone's intellect that's misspelled.

I do not believe Kirilenko will be back with the Jazz anyway.

This.

Disagree - you can never go home again.

He'll be back.

 

[MattMan]

Uuug, watched the video of him falling. Man, the sound of his head hitting the floor is brutal. Unfortunate time for this to happen. I doubt he's with the Jazz by Dec 25.

 

[Stifle Tower]

After all the negative things Greg has said about him...questioning his attitude, his recovery from past injuries, etc., how can anyone really think he'll be back?

 

[IBleedAggieBlue]

He's "supposed" to be back by January. Somewhat subjective when talking about Kirilenko.....is that January 2012?? This supposed January date is certainly up for debate, considering you couldn't come back because there may be some stiffness, swelling, irritation? May need to play a game then sit out for the next 10 just to evaluate the aforementioned subsymptoms.

Moving on...nothing to see here.

You're obviously not a golfer.

*Ugh

I read some article in the tribune that said the injury isn't serious and it is just a bone bruise. AK said he would be playing again in 10 days.
