I could not watch the game just watched that injury like 30 min ago and i am speechless. A couple things are there any free agent Big PF or Centers who can give the Blazers Some D and basic offense. Then of course last and most important i wish Nurk the best but my gut feeling is earliest we see him back in around all star break next season and that might be best case scenario.
Yeah this is what sucks the most. Its one thing to kill any playoff chances we had this year with the injury, but we have no idea when he will be back next year and it probably will be not until very later in the season. Who knows how our season will go until he does return and even then what kind of form he will get into potentially so close to another playoff push.
Maybe he will be back by next years Trade deadline and a Dame/AD/Nurk lineup will lead us to a championship
Terry Rozier and PG13 both folded their leg like that and both are doing great in the league now. As far as our season... it's over. We needed everything Nurk brought and we'll likely go out in the first round.
Man, FUCK that ref that walks right into Nurk's broken leg as he's laying there in agony. I'm seriously having trouble coming up with a reason why the ref would take that path right through Nurk's foot? That guy should be ashamed of himself and probably deserves to be fired for that.
The worst part about it is the fans of whatever team sweeps us will never let us forget it. They'll be insufferable. The whole league loves to bully this fucking team. I'm TIRED of being the league's punching bag.
Damn this team is just not the same without Nurk. I’m not even talking about basketball. He made it fun. Can I fast forward somehow?
PORTLAND, Ore. (March 26, 2019) – Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic sustained compound fractures to his left tibia and fibula with 2:22 remaining in the second overtime of Portland’s win over Brooklyn on Monday. There is no timetable for his return to basketball activity. His status will be updated as appropriate. In 72 games this season (all starts), Nurkic averaged career highs of 15.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.00 steal to go with 1.40 blocks. He shot a career-best 50.8% from the field and 77.3% from the foul line. Nurkic posted a career-high 36 double-doubles and led the Trail Blazers in rebounds 46 times, assists 12 times and points eight times. He ranks 15th in the NBA in rebounding and 16th in blocks.
its the nba where the refs do no wrong and will be backed up to hell or high water. adam silver is probably talking to him now saying what agreat job you guys did at sucking ass at your job so much and clearly being a blind ass bitch kicking/tripping over nurk when hes in immense pain.
Ok ok ok, here's how this is gonna go down. Nurk misses next season and we suck, but then we strike gold in the lottery and Nurk comes back better than ever. Blazers 2021 champions !!
