Without a doubt, over the duration of the past season the Trail Blazers hurt greatly without the help of Jusuf Nurkic. In his time in the red and black, Nurkic has flourished into a franchise center.
The Bosnian Beast was denied his highly anticipated return in mid-March amid league wide health concerns over Covid-19. While this is understandably disappointing for the 25-year old Center, he will be more than ready to go the next time Coach Stotts calls his name.
During the 2018-2019 season, Nurkic posted career highs in both points and rebounds per game.
