4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic was very close to a triple-double on Saturday against the Clippers, finishing a 122-117 loss with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. He also had a pair of steals while shooting 3-for-8 from the floor. Nurkic suffered a horrible leg injury in March 2019, but he's come back very strongly, filling up the stat sheet in various ways. He'll find it tough to dominate next in a matchup against the Sixers and Joel Embiid, but it will certainly be a very exciting battle to watch.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
