Kalkbrenner Returns from Elbow Injury, Will Come Off Bench vs. Jazz

Ryan Kalkbrenner (sprained left elbow) is available to return for Saturday's game against the Jazz after a 10-game absence, but will come off the bench. This marks only his second non-start this season, with Moussa Diabate remaining in the starting five. The rookie center averaged 8.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks across 25.6 minutes per game this season. In his only prior bench appearance on Dec. 3, Kalkbrenner recorded 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 25 minutes. His return is expected to impact minutes for Diabate and PJ Hall.
