Jazz F Boozer hopes to return Thursday (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Carlos Boozer is hoping to return to the Utah Jazz lineup this week after missing the last 10 games with a strained tendon in his left thigh. Boozer says a return Tuesday night at Minnesota was unlikely, but Thursday at home against Portland was possible. Guard Brevin Knight was back with the team Monday after spending Saturday night in a Phoenix hospital.
