It is so good to see Nurkic back on the court for the Blazers. The leg injury he suffered last season was very gruesome and many thought it was going to be a long time until we saw the big man playing again.
With Nurkic back in the lineup, the Blazers believe they can clinch the No. 8 seed in the West since the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans are struggling at Disney World.
Nurkic entered Thursday averaging 22.0 points, 12.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists for the Blazers in the bubble.
