Fuck.

This looks as bad as Livingston's injury. Looks like a clean break. Hopefully there won't be any ligament damage.
 
Season over.

Hope his recovery goes well but I'd plan for him being out all next year. Calls into question his career. Feel so bad for Nurk.

Now see what we can trade Meyers and Turner expiring for in the summer.

Similar to the Wes injury; it may be the end of an era.
 
Geez I have watched four games this year, and this happened to be one of them. Tough thing to watch, there goes the season right there.
 
Yeah, it had to be both bones in his lower leg. No knee damage though.
 
I mena he isnt going to be back for the playoffs this year so the hope is does he even return next year and if so what when and what does he look like? Is he kind of how like Hayward looks or like Paul George who bounced back well.

If he can't play next year, is there a 'Medical Exception' that they can use to sign a big since they have no real cap room to do so?

  • The team may sign a free agent for one season only, for 50% of the disabled player's salary or the amount of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception, whichever is less.
  • The team may trade for a player in the last season of his contract only (including any option years)2, who is making no more than 50% plus $100,000 of the disabled player's salary, or the amount of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception plus $100,000, whichever is less.
  • The team may claim a player on waivers who is in the last season of his contract only (including any option years), who is making no more than 50% of the disabled player's salary, or the amount of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception, whichever is less.

I have never experienced this serious of an injury, so it's hard for me to say, but I think a major part of recovery for anything is attitude. He will have Dame beside him, motivating him. I think that will drive him next year while he recuperates. That's all hopefully thinking. Really, I just want Nurkic to keep his head straight. We've all saw what happens if you don't.
 
Fuck the talk about anything other than Nurk as a person.

I don't give a shit about the Blazers. I don't care about the playoffs. I don't care if this means other players get a chance to step up or what it means signing players going forward.

The thing I feel worse about this is how this must feel for Nurk. He busted his ass off all season and rewarded with this. I'm so done with the NBA this season.
 
If it’s a complete break of the tibia/fibula (which I think it might be based on location) the expected recovery time is 3-6 months plus rehab. My completely uneducated guess is that he will return in early 2020. I pray his career isn’t over though.
 
Didn't it look like a busted ankle? you guys saw tibia from that?
 
anyway prayers up to nurk. my passion for the blazers has blinded me from realizingthe bigger picture of hoping nurk nothing but the best recovery wise. He didn't deserve this. get well soon big man
