New Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin might finally deal from a full deck Wednesday night at Dallas.
In their first three games under Corbin, including two losses to Phoenix and one to Golden State, the Jazz had only nine players available because of injuries.
Against the Mavericks, however, Andrei Kirilenko, Raja Bell and Ronnie Price could play.
All three practiced Monday night and will do so again Tuesday before the Jazz fly to Dallas.
Barring any setbacks, center Mehmet Okur will be the only player to miss Utah's first game after the All-Star break.
Okur remains sidelined indefinitely with a back strain.
During his break, Corbin studied film of his team during the losses to Phoenix and Golden State, which dropped the Jazz into a tie for eighth place in the Western Conference.
"I tried to get a better feel for where we are," Corbin said. "It was difficult because we had so many guys out and the rotations were off.
"But I was pleased, for the most part, with the effort. The guys really tried. We just ran out of gas."
If Kirilenko (ankle) and Bell (calf) are available against Dallas, they will start.
Corbin plans to bring C.J. Miles and Gordon Hayward off the bench, which was ex-coach Jerry Sloan's preferred rotation.
"We'll go back to how it was when we were healthy and see how it goes," Corbin said. "We'll make adjustments from there."
Corbin and Sloan do some catching up
Corbin had not talked to Sloan since the ex-Jazz coach announced his resignation on Feb. 10.
But the two visited on the phone during the All-Star break.
"He was in Illinois," Corbin said. "He had watched some of our games and thought things were coming along. He said, 'Hang in there.' … He thought the guys were executing and doing a pretty good job."
Sloan owns a farm near McLeansboro, Ill.
Said Corbin: "I was happy to hear he was doing well. He said he was on a tractor out in the field, it was 70-some degrees and it was the best day he'd seen in a long time. So he's getting better."
Williams is back from Los Angeles
Deron Williams practiced after returning from Sunday's All-Star game in Los Angeles, where he had five points and seven assists in the West's 148-143 win over the East.
"I enjoyed it; it was fun," Williams said. "All-Star games, All-Star weekends, are always fun. It's good to be a part of it. I enjoyed myself."
Asked about a report he is interested in playing for New York when he can opt out of his contract in 2012, Williams repeated what he told the media covering the All-Star game.
"Rumors," he said. "You can choose to believe them or choose not to."
