Chris Kaman (shoulder) traveled with the Blazers to Utah, but a decision hasn't been made on his availability for Wednesday's contest against the Jazz, CSN Northwest reports.

Kaman (shoulder) traveled with the Blazers to Utah, but a decision hasn't been made on his availability for Wednesday's contest against the Jazz, CSN Northwest reports.

Analysis:

Since leaving Friday's loss at Orlando, Kaman has missed both of the Blazers' subsequent defeats Saturday and Tuesday as a result of a strained shoulder. Another absence would translate to guaranteed playing time for Joel Freeland and Meyers Leonard, especially against the Jazz's imposing frontcourt.
