Minneapolis • The injury report still lists him as being out, but there is a chance Jazz point guard George Hill could suit up tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"I think he's progressing," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "Concussions are a tricky thing. You're more able to discern other injuries, as opposed to concussions. But hopefully if he's not able to play, he's getting really close."
How close is Hill?
The veteran guard, who has been in the NBA's concussion protocol since taking an elbow to the face on New Year's Eve, participated in the team's morning shootaround at Target Center — the last stage of the league-mandated protocol for returning to play.
