The New York Daily News reports that Nets center Dikembe Mutombo has rejoined the team after missing the final two regular season games to mourn his brother's death.

Mutombo is expected to play, and may even start, but that is up in the air still.

"I don't know yet," Scott said when asked if Jason Collins or Mutombo will start Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals tomorrow against Milwaukee. "I'll let you know (today)."

Scott may want to start Mutombo for good karma. Mutombo has never lost a playoff series to George Karl, defeating him in 1994 with the Denver Nuggets and in 2001 with the Philadelphia 76ers.
