I suppose Fesenko and/or Koufos can get some burn then... anyway, the Jazz have to show they can manage road/hard games without all firepower available...
My best wishes to Okur and his family.

Stinks for the team, but I hope all goes well for Okur and the family. Lets just hope for big nights from Fesenko and Koufos.

I hope everything works out for Memo and his family. We really need Fesenko and or Koufos to give us some quality minutes now.

I think Fes will probably start and play about 5 minutes in the 1st and the 3rd quarters. Jazz will probably go small and let AK and Sap play a little more. Or not. Hope all goes well for Memo.

Family before all else. I hope whoever it is makes it through okay.
As for what we'll do with him out, it'll be right into the fire for Koufos and Fes, neither of whom have looked very competent in garbage time so far in the regular season. But at least we'll get a look at them.
We won't live or die on them, though. We'll obviously be playing a lot of small ball too.

Fess wont be with the team either for Tues/Wed. Visa issues. Collins still out. Dont know if Matt can suit up or not, but we could be with 10 players tues/wed.

Hope all will be well for the Okur family. That is the important thing.
I also hope this doesnt signal the return of Collins. I truly hope that all it means is Kosta gets to play a little bit.

Honestly I have high hopes for this kid.
