Jusuf Nurkic News
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is showing no signs of rust after missing most of the 2019-20 season rehabbing his leg injury. Nurkic dominated Boston on Sunday in a losing effort, scoring 30 points with nine boards, five assists, two steals, a block and a triple in 32 minutes. The 25-year-old feasted on the smaller Daniel Theis all night and was virtually unstoppable down low. Nurkic's next matchup will come against the small-ball Rockets on Tuesday, a dream matchup for the 7-footer. Fire him up in DFS.
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic returned to the court with a bang in Friday's 140-135 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Nurkic stuffed the stat sheet, tallying 18 points, nine rebounds, six blocks, five assists and two steals. What a return it was for the Bosnian big man, who missed most of this season while rehabbing his broken leg. The 25-year-old was everywhere on Friday, but it was his defense that truly made the biggest impact. Nurkic's ability to do it all makes him a good DFS play- and a huge part of Portland's playoff push.
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic mentioned that he has zero concerns with regards to his leg injury. "As far as health, zero concerns man. Its not even a question," says Nurkic. It's nice to see that Nurkic has mentally and physically healed from that gruesome injury that has kept him out of action since March of 2019. Nurkic is not expected to be limited at all during the restart. However, it's unlikely that he sees more than 20 minutes per game. His fantasy value is going to take a hit since he won't be able to play over 20 minutes most games. The Blazers still have Hassan Whiteside and Zach Collins to juggle alongside Nurkic.
