Jusuf Nurkic Likely Out Until After All-Star Break
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is expected to remain sidelined until after the All-Star break. The veteran continues to deal with a nagging calf issue. While an MRI came back clean, the team will keep him off the floor until he's 100%. In the meantime, Drew Eubanks, who's averaged 7.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in seven starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the starting lineup. Trendon Watford, who scored 21 points on Friday versus Washington, may have a prominent role, but only against teams with size underneath the basket.
