SALT LAKE CITY — Jazz forward Matt Harpring said his comeback attempt to play this season is over and his career might be as well.
The 11-year veteran never completely recovered from an infection that developed after ankle surgery in the summer of 2008.
“After consultations with the doctors and based on their recommendations, I have reluctantly come to the realization that my body can simply no longer withstand the rigors of NBA games and practices,” Harpring said Thursday.
