Morrow and Petro Return Friday, Brooks and Okur Still Out
After one-game absences, Anthony Morrow (ankle) and Johan Petro (stomach virus) will play (or at least be available) Friday night against the Timberwolves. However Marshon Brooks (broken pinky toe) will miss his third straight game and Mehmet Okur (sore back) will miss his fifth straight. That leaves the Nets with 10 healthy bodies.
