    Why are they sending the Beast to the Bay area? Are they trying to kill him?!

    does this seem a little confusing?

    he was supposedly scheduled to play Sunday, and there are 3 days between the Memphis game Thursday and the game Sunday. Time for practice then?

    Nurk himself talked about going to Sac for a practice or two. This 'assignment' to the g-league is just a procedural thing. It keeps everything compliant in case Nurk gets injured or more likely injures another player during practice.

    Yes, for practice. He's not going to play a game there.

    Well, we don't have many players to have practice against him as our starters need rest, not practice at this stage.
