Jazz F Okur out after being poked in eye (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Jazz center Mehmet Okur has been taken out of Utah's game at Oklahoma City after being poked in his right eye, and his return is questionable. Okur got popped in the face when the Thunder's Chucky Atkins made a swipe at the ball as he ran by on defense. Okur crumpled to the ground for a few moments before being replaced and heading to the locker room with 7:41 left before halftime.
