Hedo Turkoglu has had a change of heart.

Oh, he still hates his Zorro-type mask with a passion and is concerned with the impact it will have on his game this afternoon and for however long he wears it.

But after further talks with team doctors and management, not to mention calls from equally concerned friends, Turkoglu has relented to wear the mask and protect the small fracture of his face just below the right eye.
