Corbin recalled one incident when Boozer tried to prematurely return from a hamstring injury.
"I was working out with him," he said, "... and he tweaked it again. The guy was hurt. So I don’t question his character — whether he wanted to play. I know he was beat up."

Injuries aside, Boozer averaged 19.3 points and 10.5 rebounds in 354 games with the Jazz, establishing himself as a top-10 player in franchise history.
"Tremendous success during the time he was here," Corbin said. "People talk about the games he was out because he was hurt. But the games he played — when he was healthy — he was a tremendous asset for us."
Paul Millsap is the only player remaining on the Jazz’s active roster who was Boozer’s teammate.
"I remember he was a great player for us — an All-Star player," Millsap said. "... I have great memories of him. We made it to the Western Conference finals with him that one year. So a lot of memories."
