Utah Jazz: Team in tough spot as Okur leaves for Turkey
The Utah Jazz announced Monday that Mehmet Okur has left Utah to return to Turkey to deal with a family illness. The move raises questions about who will start for the Jazz at center Tuesday against Philadelphia.
Kyrilo Fesenko would start at center for the Jazz, but he has to travel to Canada to resolve a visa issue and won't play until Friday.
Jarron Collins is out with a right elbow injury. That means rookie Kosta Koufos could start, because Jazz coach Jerry Sloan likes to bring Andrei Kirilenko and Paul Millsap off the bench, but the team is considering all options.
