The Denver Nuggets have been missing their starting center all season in second-year Bosnian Jusuf Nurkic. He has been rehabbing from a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee, that he underwent surgery on back in May. Good news is that Nurkic could make his season debut Jan. 2nd vs. the Golden State Warriors, according to Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post.
Good news for the #Nuggets. Jusuf Nurkic may make his season debut on Friday at Golden St, coach Michael Malone said.

Nurkic’s performance in practice on Friday will be the determining factor in his availability.
