“Well, actually, that’s his story, so I need to believe him,” Jusuf says. “Trust, man, you will, too. He’s big. … He never looks fat. He’s just big. His bones and everything. He’s … almost something like compared to Shaq right now. He’s just a big dude. You can’t even stand against him. You feel small.”
Injury:
Even Damian Lillard had to sit out a game against the Knicks while dealing with an abdominal strain. But no injuries have been longer, and more impactful than the injuries to CJ McCollum (left midfoot fracture), Jusuf Nurkic (right wrist fracture) and Zach Collins (left ankle stress fracture).
Return:
He returned to play in a loss against the Utah Jazz, but he will miss the game against the Detroit Pistons due to the home back-to-back. Blazers coach Terry Stotts said Jusuf Nurkic will play Sunday against Miami and that Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will play tonight against Detroit.
