As he awaits the start of the 2022-23 NBA season, Portland Trail Blazers big Jusuf Nurkic has been creating chatter through his impressive play while representing his native country of Bosnia. Though, as noted by Donatas Urbanas of BasketNews, not everything has been going as swimmingly with Bosnia’s off-court situation.
Nurkic was outspoken in the report while discussing Bosnia’s travel situation, which left the 6-foot-11 big in an uncomfortable position throughout the flight. As Urbanas writes:
While some other national teams traveled to Cologne with charter flights, Bosnia and Herzegovina took a commercial flight with a layover.
