Jazz's Walker Kessler: Ruled out for Friday

Kessler (nose) won't play Friday against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Kessler suffered a nasal fracture in Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers, and the Jazz will continue to monitor him closely for swelling and inflammation. For now, Kessler can be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. In the meantime, Omer Yurtseven could step into a larger role as the Jazz's starting center with John Collins (back) also sidelined.
