Reports have been coming out about an impending knee surgery for Denver Nuggets center Jusuf Nurkic, and those reports have been confirmed by the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey.
Jusuf Nurkic, the Nuggets rookie center, is scheduled to undergo knee surgery Wednesday for a slight tear of the patella tendon. He is expected to be sidelined 3 to 4 months while he recovers.
The three to four month timetable allows for Nurkic to be back with the team, ahead of training camp in late September/early October. Reports had been circling about a knee surgery for the last couple of weeks, but we finally got clarity today on the situation.
