Utah Jazz: Okur to miss tonight's game
Okur left Utah's win over Toronto on March 17 with flu symptoms including nausea and vomiting, and missed the Jazz's next practice after that as well.
Just last Tuesday he said, "I am feeling good, 100 percent right now." Okur took part in Friday's morning shootaround as well.
Early Friday night, though, a Jazz spokesman said the flu symptoms had returned — and that it was believed he may have caught a bug from his young daughter, who also took ill for a second time this month.
With Okur out, backup Jarron Collins is expected to make his eighth start of the season. Ronnie Brewer is also out with the flu. C.J. Miles started in his place.
