Jazz center Mehmet Okur will be re-evaluated by the team in October, according to general manager Kevin O'Connor.
Okur is recovering from left Achilles tendon surgery and has started running drills.
He dealt with a sore Achilles during the latter part of the year, then ruptured it during Game 1 of a first-round playoff series against Denver.
Okur is expected to return around midseason.
