Korver and Okur
Jazz center Mehmet Okur pedaled a stationary bike prior to practice and made it through the session without any problems Monday, marking his return from a stomach virus that caused him to miss three straight games.
“I’m feeling better now,” said Okur, who plans to play when the Jazz face Oklahoma City Tuesday night.
But Kyle Korver, who backed up Ronnie Brewer at shooting guard last season, said Monday he hopes to perhaps be ready to return by week’s end.
“It’s possible, I think,” he said. “But we’ll see how it is.”

Kyle Korver
As Kyle Korver prepares to undergo surgery today in New York to remove a bone spur from his left knee, the Jazz could be without the three-point shooting guard for the season’s first six weeks.
The Jazz have yet to set a timetable for his return, but Korver is believed to be operating under the assumption that he will be out for that long.
“He’s doing all right,” Deron Williams said. “I know he’s definitely frustrated by the situation. He finally gets his wrist healthy [after offseason surgery] and now it’s his knee.”
