Jazz activate Lopez
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Jazz activated point guard Raul
Lopez from the injured list Monday and replaced him with Keith
McLeod.
Lopez has been on the injured list since Nov. 1 and had surgery
to repair torn cartilage in his right knee the next day. He also
missed the entire preseason with the injury.
Lopez was not available for Utah's game against the Miami Heat
on Monday night.
McLeod, a second-year player who made the team in training camp
while Lopez was out, has missed the last three games with a groin
strain. He will miss at least the next five games.
