Utah Jazz WiretapArroyo's injury only a sprainArroyo re-injured his left ankle, the same one that has kept him out of two games this season already, early in the second half of Friday's 99-90 victory over Milwaukee when he jumped for a rebound and landed on Joe Smith's foot. The ankle was extremely sore a day later, and team doctors expect the Jazz's starting point guard will need 10 days to two weeks to recover.

Arroyo hurt his left ankle _ the same one that sidelined him for two games earlier this season _ in the third quarter of a 99-90 victory over Milwaukee on Friday night. He has played well replacing the retired John Stockton, averaging 15.5 points and 6.1 assists. Stevenson is third on the team in scoring, with an 11.8-point average. He was knocked to the floor while driving to the basket about a minute after Arroyo was injured. Stevenson was tested at a hospital and released after the game. X-rays were negative. The Jazz had the weekend off. Team spokesman Kim Turner said Stevenson is expected to return to practice Monday and should be ready to play against Houston on Wednesday. ``He was just sore this morning,'' Turner said Saturday.
