I think it might have occurred on the inbounds play where he chucked up a 3 near the top of the key. He seemed to be limping after that play. But like I've said before, I tuned in late and missed most of this game.

....it has nothing to do with "luck." The guy is just injury prone, has been, always will be.

Glad it's nothing more. He looks like he needs to get his legs overall stronger, which will help relax his back. He was our key scorer in Q2 in yet ANOTHER creative lineup last night off the bench which bailed out the starters and got us back in the game:
PG Watson
SG Price
SF Millsap
PF Okur
C Fesenko

How dumb or ignorant that post makes you CJ, I just cannot tell. I'm totally surprised. You seem to have something against Okur. You were one of the calamity howlers here who at that time obtruded that his career is over. I think you should just stop making comparisons between softies like Boozer and real injury prones like AK47 and Okur, who played through injuries numerous times in his career. Just give credit where it is, due. We're not fabricating anything that's unreal here, these are facts.

Via Locke in November: "Only 5 active NBA players 6'10 weighing more than 250 have played 85% of their games. Dwight, Zaza, Duncan, KG and Memo Okur"
Only one NBA player over 6'10 and 260 pounds who has been in the league for 3 years has played over 90% of his games -- Dwight Howard
Over the last 5 years players in the NBA 6'10 and above who weigh under 285 lbs play in 85% of their games. those over 285 play in 56%."

We are gonna have to be patient with Okur, and probably the same with Raja Bell. We forget sometimes that Raja missed all of last year.
Memo has missed 9 months. It's not easy to just jump back in, at their ages. But they are doing all they can and they will have setbacks.

Thanks for doing what cj should have done. His injury-prone claim is simply laughable.

Thanks for posting those stats. I was pretty sure the comment was wrong about him being injury-prone, but I was too lazy to look up the stats.
Memo's shot was on last night. That was good to see. Also, loved how Jerry put Fes and Memo on the court together.
Loved that line up. Watch, we won't see it again for a long time....
If Memo's shot is on, and we add a decent defender to play along with him....we'll be in good shape.
Memo + AJ or Sap and AJ have huge defensive issues.

...I stand corrected. I thought he had missed more games than that.

...based on these stats....he's virtually the "iron horse" of NBA big guys!
perhaps Fes has moved ahead of Elson on the depth chart? most likely it will depend on matchups, but against bigger teams Fes should be out there ahead of Elson.

....I don't have anything against Okur. I like him a whole lot more than I did Boozer. Maybe subconsciously I associate him with Boozer, thus having gotten rid of Boozer and his pathetic defense, I was looking to move on without Okur, too. Of course, you are fanatical in your love for him. So I will tread more carefully when discussing his plus and minuses as a contributor to the Jazz success!
I think CJ got confused because Okur is always one of those guys who has that nagging back problem. He rarely misses extended time, but he will sit out a game or two from time to time with some small nagging injury. As far as serious injuries, he had never really gotten one until last year.
