Portland Trail Blazers Media Day 2022 has come and gone, but it didn’t depart without a conversation with returning center Jusuf Nurkic. The Bosnian Beast will join a revamped lineup this season, but he talked more about the past, his love for the city of Portland, and a general sense of stability at this point in his career.
Danny Marang of Blazer’s Edge and 1080 The Fan tweeted the center’s thoughts from the podium.
Like most Blazers, Nurkic spent some time talking about teammate Damian Lillard’s recovery from injury:
Dame, he probably want aware of how hurt he was not that he didn’t know but he’d dealt with it for a couple of years.
