Jusuf Nurkic Return to Blazers Hindered by Calf Complaint

Jusuf Nurkic and CJ McCollum appear to be close to returning to the court for the Portland Trail Blazers, joining the latest team practice sessions in Minneapolis. But while McCollum took part in one-on-one work earlier today, Nurkic was restricted due to a calf complaint, according to Coach Terry Stotts.

Coach Terry Stotts says Jusuf Nurkic was limited in practice Friday because he is dealing with a calf injury. Meanwhile, CJ McCollum was able to do some 1-on-1 work on the court today in Minnesota. Both are ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
