Mehmet Okur (back) received an epidural and the Nets hope to have him back "in the next few days."

Okur's mysterious "procedure" has been revealed as an epidural. He's been out since January 27 and is averaging a rather uninspiring 7.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 treys on 37.4 percent shooting this season.
