Portland's Jusuf Nurkic diagnosed with fractured wrist

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) suffered a broken wrist during Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means:

Nurkic's return timeline is dependent on whether his wrist will need surgery. Expect Enes Kanter to see more time at the five until Nurkic is ready to return.

According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 223.9 minutes this season with Nurkic off the court, Kanter is averaging 1.26 FanDuel points per minute and a 18.6% usage rate.
