Injury Update: Mehmet Okur Out Until After All-Star Break

This isn't really breaking news but per The Record's Andy Vasquez (part about Okur is at bottom of the article in the link), Nets' injured center Mehmet Okur's back injury will keep him out of game action until after the All-Star break. Okur has missed 13 games already with his injury and at some points during the recent losing streak, the team has sorely missed his size on the interior and his ability to stretch the defense with his solid jump-shooting ability.
