Jusuf Nurkic Sits Out Friday
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) has been ruled out of Friday's meeting with the Warriors. There's been an interesting turn of events, as Nurkic was initially on the injury report with a calf problem and the team considered him probable for the game, but he has now been ruled out with a non-COVID illness. Nurkic is forced to take a seat right after having his best performance of the season against Charlotte, finishing Monday's contest with 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. His absence will give reserve bigs Drew Eubanks and Trendon Watford a chance to log extended minutes.
