Matt Harpring Hopes to Play 1 More Year

Filed under: Jazz, FanHouse Exclusive

Matt Harpring, a former high school quarterback, plays basketball with a football mentality.



He hurls his body all over place. If he gets hurt, he just rubs some dirt on his injury. OK, with dirt hard to find in a basketball arena, perhaps he rubs chalk on it.



With that in mind, it's no surprise the injury-riddled Utah Jazz forward doesn't want to retire.



"I would love to play (this season),'' Harpring, 33, said in an interview Friday with FanHouse. "I would love to play until I'm 50.''



But some of that might be out of his hands. Harpring said he will have his Jazz physical on Monday, and doctors will have a say in whether he can continue to play.
