Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic called out the referees after fouling out for the second straight game last night. In his post-game press conference, Nurkic pleaded with the referees to have a closer look at the fouls as well as the attention the Denver Nuggets were paying to the leg he gruesomely broke two years ago.
Here is a video of Nurkic answering questions, released by the Blazers:
Nurkic discussed a number of topics, but his most interesting comments concerned the officiating:
“It’s my fault to get in foul trouble, but at the same time, I’m looking at the fouls and I can’t agree on all of those, I really can’t.
