Nurkic provided nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Nurkic was very inconsistent in the first round against the Timberwolves, which was the case for most of the team, to be fair. Overall, Nurkic had a solid regular season campaign for Phoenix, averaging 10.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals. Nurkic will remain under contract for two more seasons.

Jusuf Nurkic Latest News
Nearly double-doubles
Nurkic provided nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Nurkic was very inconsistent in the first round against the Timberwolves, which was the case for most of the team, to be fair. Overall, Nurkic had a solid regular season campaign for Phoenix, averaging 10.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals. Nurkic will remain under contract for two more seasons.
Double-doubles in loss
Nurkic finished with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to Minnesota in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. Nurkic grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds to go with 10 points, tallying his first double-double of the series. While he was more involved, the Suns still came up short, falling behind 2-0 in the series. Game 3 will be in Phoenix on Friday, where Nurkic will look to be even more of a force on the interior against the size of the Timberwolves.
Dishes season-high 10 dimes
Nurkic notched three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-108 victory over the Clippers. Nurkic returned after missing Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained right ankle. He ended this rematch with just a trio of points, though still recorded a double-double while leading all players in Wednesday's outing in rebounds and assists. Nurkic set a new season high in assists while posting his eighth game with 18 or more boards this year.
Not on injury report for Wednesday
Nurkic (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Nurkic missed Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained right ankle, but he'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 8.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 29.5 minutes per game.
Ruled out Tuesday
Nurkic (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. Nurkic was initially listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain, and the Suns will not risk him with the playoffs right around the corner. However, his loss could be troublesome, as the Suns have gone 1-4 without Nurkic this season. Expect Drew Eubanks to start in his place.
Dealing with ankle sprain
Nurkic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain. Nurkic logged 31 minutes in Sunday's loss to New Orleans without an in-game injury being reported, but his status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's contest. Tuesday also marks the beginning of a back-to-back set for the Suns, with a rematch versus the Clippers on deck Wednesday. The Suns have posted a 1-4 record without Nurkic this season.
Back in action with double-double
Nurkic supplied 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 97-87 victory over Minnesota. Nurkic returned to the starting lineup to post a solid result after missing Wednesday's game with a calf injury. He faced a stern test. against Rudy Gobert but was very effective in containing him to only four points and six rebounds. Surging play from Bol Bol won't be enough to keep Nurkic from continuing his full-time role, and he's a safe bet to see the most time at the five as the Suns make a final playoff push.
Will play Friday
Nurkic (calf) will play Friday against the Timberwolves. Nurkic will shed his questionable tag to suit up against Rudy Gobert. Nurkic is averaging 8.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over his last 10 games.
Iffy due to calf soreness
Nurkic is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota with left calf soreness, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. This is a new issue for Nurkic, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. If Nurkic is unable to suit up, the Suns could turn to Drew Eubanks and Bol Bol to soak up some frontcourt minutes.
