SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah forward Andrei Kirilenko missed his second straight game Tuesday night against Denver because of a sprained ankle.

Kirilenko sat out the Jazz's 101-85 loss at Golden State on Monday night, the first game he missed this season. He injured his left ankle Saturday night in the third quarter of an overtime loss to Cleveland, but got it re-taped and finished the game.

Kirilenko leads the Jazz in scoring at 16.3 points per game.

Rookie Sasha Pavlovic started for Kirilenko.
