Okur out another game due to injury.

Luck for us, this guy is still stuck on the sidelines. His presence keeps our bigs stuck on him when he jumps out past the 3-point line(and he can hit those). Leaving the lane a little more open. Well, sorry for you!

ESPN: Utah Jazz center Mehmet Okur will miss Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers with a hamstring injury that has kept him from playing in the first-round playoff series.

The Jazz said Okur did not participate in the team shootaround Thursday morning and would not play later when the Jazz host the Lakers, who lead the best-of-7 series 2-0.

Okur is Utah's second-leading scorer at 17 points per game and third on the Jazz in rebounding. He has not played since straining his right hamstring last Monday in a regular season game against the Clippers.
