Jusuf Nurkic brings a certain edge and aggressiveness to Portland Trail Blazers’ offense and defense that is needed. However, sometimes this spark gets him in foul trouble, and that can work to keep Nurkic more subdued when the Blazers need him most. Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest talked to Nurkic about his foul troubles that are a work in progress:
The Trail Blazers center spends day after day watching film to review his fouls, whether it’s a foul at the rim or a moving screen. He has also spent time with former referee Don Vaden trying to figure out how he can avoid getting into foul trouble.
