Mehmet Okur to miss remainder of playoffs…

The Utah Jazz will have to try to knock off the Denver Nuggets without their starting center, as Mehmet Okur underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, which will sideline him for the remainder of the playoffs.
Utah will use a combination of Kyrylo Fesenko & Paul Millsap at center to try & offset the loss of Okur. Game 3 of their best-of-7 series resumes on Friday night in Salt Lake City with the series tied at 1 game apiece.
