Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic and forward Jerami Grant have been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Charlotte Hornets, Danny Marang of 1080 the FAN and Blazer’s Edge reports.
Blazers announce that Jusuf Nurkic (adductor) and Jerami Grant (ankle) have been downgraded to QUESTIONABLE tonight vs the Hornets.
Neither player had been listed on the injury report prior to this morning, and it is possible that we are seeing something akin to load management as the team continues its six-game road trip, if Nurkic and Grant sit.
