Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic started Saturday, played 16 minutes
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (leg) started and played 16 minutes in Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
What It Means:
He's back. Nurkic went through warmups without an issue and was out there to kick off his first playoff game. Moe Harkless, Al-Farouq Aminu, Meyers Leonard, and Noah Vonleh will continue to lose playing time as Nurkic's scale back up. He posted just two points in this one, but reeled in 11 rebounds.
Nurkic's return created just -11.41 nERD for the Blazers, per numberFire Live, which was the third-least among Portland players.
