MINNEAPOLIS -- Utah's Carlos Boozer returned to the court
for the first time in nearly a year, entering Friday night's game
at Minnesota to start the second quarter.
After straining his foot last Feb. 14 and missing the final 31
games of last season, Boozer strained his hamstring in training
camp and had several setbacks while missing the first 49 games of
this season.
He made one of his two field-goal attempts, a layup, and added
an assist and two fouls while playing the first 6 minutes of the
quarter.
Boozer signed a six-year, $68 million contract with Utah in
2004.
