Jusuf Nurkic (leg) will play and be on a minutes limit in Saturday’s Game 3 against the Warriors.

As some in the Blazers media have opined this would make it seem like Nurkic is going to play.  We’ll know real quick one way or another. 

Update: He’s going to play and we’d expect similar production, albeit with the potential for rust and of course the minutes limit will diminish the overall numbers. 

In terms of Jusuf Nurkic going tonight, Coach Stotts told me "It's up to him if he plays." #ripcity pic.twitter.com/KIvvLA2qq5

After a 24-minute pregame workout, Jusuf Nurkic walks off the court and says, "I don't know yet," when I asked if he would play in Game 3.

That said … it sure looks like Nurkic plans on playing. He went through a legit pregame workout.
