    Nurk is coming back Sunday, March 15 in a home game against Houston. It was announced a couple days ago.

    Maybe one day if the coronavirus creates a “the replacements” scenario.

    Nurk is being sent to Santa Cruz to practice with the G-League Warriors.

    Does anyone else find it strange that all season they didn't want to have a timeline for his return but then set a date 9 days ahead of him playing and then in a week where the Blazers have 5 full days off any only 2 games until Sunday aren't practicing enough to the point where they entrust Nurk's care and final preparations to another organization?

    It's like they got to the end and realized they were being too cautious and went the extreme other way.

    That's a bit like asking someone to pull over and try to resuscitate roadkill. Good luck.

    could be the case

    it could also be that Nurkic is pressing real hard against some resistance within management and the staff

    Oh believe me I've listened to it!

    I know he wasn't going to play in a game. My point is with 5 full days off between the Kings game and Nurk's return with only 2 home games sprinkled in the other days, why aren't the Blazers practicing enough to get his "reps" in Portland?

    They've been so good defensively lately maybe they don't need practice?

    In the NFL they have regulations for practices and such do they have that for the NBA?

    You didn't listen to Stotts. He mentioned there are ways to load manage guys and this is an opportunity to rest Lillard, McCollum, Whiteside and Ariza and Nurkic needs some 5 on 5 floor time.

    No, but players coach Terry loves to give guys days off.

    Team-mates run for cover seconds before Nurk lands and both legs explode!
