SALT LAKE CITY — Roaming the sidelines of Vivint Arena ahead of the Jazz-Clippers tipoff Thursday, was a familiar face to Jazz Nation.

He stopped to chat with his former Jazz teammate-turned-announcer Matt Harpring, said “what’s up” to Rudy Gobert before his pregame routine, mingled with fans and even jumped in a few photos with them.

Former Jazz All-Star Mehmet Okur was back.

Not only did he attend Thursday’s game, he also popped into town to witness Tuesday’s win against the Lakers before flying back to his main residence in San Diego.
