SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Utah Jazz owner Larry Miller is at peace with Karl Malone again.
Miller said Monday that he received a call from Malone on Sunday and the two had resolved their latest public spat, this one prompted by Malone's possible desire to play elsewhere next season.
"I would say we apologized to each other and decided to put it behind us and move on," Miller said after the Jazz's 91-83 loss to San Antonio. "It's not a good time for us coming down the stretch toward the playoffs to have distractions in the locker room. I was frankly very pleased that he called and expressed himself as well as he did."
Malone did not speak to reporters other than to say "excuse me" as he walked through a group waiting for him in the Jazz locker room.
Miller was irritated Friday after a Sports Illustrated article quoted Malone saying he didn't think Miller had the courage to tell the 39-year-old, who will be a free agent this summer, it was time to move on. The article also said Malone's wife, Kay, had househunting trips planned this summer in San Antonio and a couple other Western Conference cities.
