Looks like that wrist is healing nicely, and just in time. In the 2007-08 season, the Jazz went 38-12 after acquiring Kyle Korver.
It's nice to have that Korver back.
Here are his stats over the last couple of months:
Split | Value | G | GS | MP | FG | FGA | 3P | 3PA | FT | FTA | ORB | TRB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | PF | PTS | FG% | 3P% | FT% | MP | PTS | TRB | AST |

February and March have been good to KK. March, for whatever reason, is Korver's favorite month. In 2007-08 he averaged 11 PPG on 47% three-point shooting and 53% overall to go along with 5 rebounds a game.
This year it's right there again. He's nailing 48% of his threes and 54% overall.
His PER 36 numbers since the beginning of February are 12.3 PPG, 2.7 assists, and 6 rebounds per game. That comes after having a lifetime PER36 of 4.3 boards a game.
He's been hotter in March. The rebounds are down a bit to 5 a game PER36. But is PPG PER36 is up to 14.4.
The recent three-game slide notwithstanding, Korver has been a huge part of the team's recent success.
Let's hope he stays hot for the rest of the season and keeps those wrists injury free.
