General manager Kevin O'Connor said Boozer's representatives have never informed him of opt-out plans, and that the decision will not impact how the Jazz proceed from here forward.

I think it's a very good business decision for me and my family, but I'd also like to see what happens with the Jazz and stay here." Also Wednesday, O'Connor told ESPN.com that the Jazz, regardless of Boozer's situation, plan to re-sign backup power forward Paul Millsap.

Analysis: Quadriceps injuries can be serious and have been known to keep players out for extended periods of time, so for Boozer missing as much playing time as it appears he will does not come as such a big surprise. If you have a replacement at his position for your fantasy league, I would play them until he gets back into the Jazz line-up but he should be played after that point.
