Jazz General Manager Kevin O'Connor said Tuesday the team is unlikely to add a player who's bought out or waived before the 2011-12 regular season ends.

Utah (23-22) has 14 players on its roster and can add one more before it would have to cut someone.

With little practice time during a lockout-shortened season and reserve forward DeMarre Carroll having only played three minutes since being signed Feb. 8, O'Connor is hesitant to sign anyone else.

"We already have trouble getting time for Jamaal [Tinsley] and DeMarre and they've put in the work," O'Connor said.
