Jusuf Nurkic is happy to be a part of the Charlotte Hornets. As the result of an unsuccessful tenure, the Phoenix Suns dealt Nurkic to the Hornets at the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
Reacting to the trade, Nurkic tweeted a trio of emojis: two honeybees and one purple circle. The Bosnian did not release an official statement with his reaction but showed clear signs of excitement with the move.
Truthfully, Nurkic is likely glad just to hear he was traded at the deadline. He began the year as the Suns' starting center but was benched for Mason Plumlee in early January.
