    What is the point of rushing it? This team may make the playoffs. Maybe. Why put Nurk at any risk just to hopefully make the playoffs? Adding Nurk won't make this team a contender. I just don't see the point when you look at risk/reward.

    There is literally nothing new in what Stotts said other than that Nurk hasn't been practicing. No new injury. They're just taking their time with it. With the All Star Game break coming up, why would they push him to practice until he's 100%?

    I totally agree with this.
    I also am getting tired of worrying about Jusuf Nurkic and his health.

    Would you no longer be worried if he doesn't play til next season?

    I think that the team is perfectly capable of catching the Grizzlies for the 8th seed with or without Nurk. I've seen nothing that indicates that the team isn't being completely cautious in their handling of his comeback. He'll play when he's healthy and can practice at full strength for a couple of weeks. I don't think that there's any reason to think he won't recover from a mild calf strain in time to contribute by the playoffs, but we'll just have to see how his body responds to an increase in activity after the ASG.

    Not any more. He isn't built like a Vanilla Gorilla.

    Doesn't really seem to matter any more. Nurkic gets hurt.

    A lot of players get injuries like these when coming back from a major injury, not just "injury prone" players. I think Nurk has been gone through a few injuries in his career but I'm not ready to say he's Greg Oden. Broken bones heal stronger and calf strains don't linger forever.

    He must be getting close because he got his hair cut.

    This would get me so much more excited if Stotts hadn't just said that Nurk hasn't practiced in 10 days.

    I'm assuming he's facing a mirror. So someone is crouched between his legs taking pictures. Okay.

    That's not why he left, as he has been gone since December

    Olshey said he was day to day in his deadline interview. If he makes the practices after the break I wouldn’t be surprised if he played next weekend, or shortly after.

    Remember the year we traded for Jusuf? He played a few games before the break and then stayed in Portland over the week to train with the staff. He came out of that break a beast.

    Would be really cool if he could slowly ramp up workouts this week and next. Still, a side of me doesn't want him to come back at all this year, so he takes his time for next season.

    He got turned off by the OT section bickering and is not posting. I'm hoping that's a temporary situation.

    I keep hoping the OT section is a temporary situation too.

    Unfortunately, all indications are to the contrary. In fact, that place is pretty much noting but contrariness.
