Jusuf Nurkic

C, Portland Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkić returned to action on Thursday after being sidelined since March 25 of 2019 due to a serious leg injury and impressed in his debut.

Nurkić looked healthy on Thursday as he scored 14 points (6-of-10 FG, 2-of-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, one assist, one block, one steal and one turnover in exactly 20 minutes of action. Let's see how Nurkić recovers from his first game in nearly 16 months but it appears like he will be ready to play his usual allotment of minutes when the Blazers kick off their restart on July 31 vs. the Grizzlies.
