Jusuf Nurkic Battling Flu, Not On Road Trip
28 seconds agoPhoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta. He is currently away from the team after Nurkic tested positive for the flu. The Suns begin a five-game road trip with Tuesday's contest. Before catching the flu, Nurkic was out of the rotation. Thus, his absence does not impact the team. We might have seen the last of Nurkic in a Suns uniform, as the Bosnian big man has popped up in trade rumors. Mason Plumlee has taken over the starting job at center in Phoenix, with rookie Oso Ighodaro also seeing action at the five position.
