Posted: 12:12 PM- Jazz forward Carlos Boozer sat out Wednesday's practice with a sore lower back, with the team still determining his availability for Friday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers.
Boozer finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds in Tuesday's victory over Golden State and is coming off a busy weekend in which he played 19 minutes in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.
Boozer is concerned enough about his back that he wears a heating pad when he is on the bench during games. He has missed one game all season, Nov. 30 against the L.A. Lakers with a sprained right ankle.
