Nurkic injury serves as an ugly reminder of Hayward setback

On Monday night, Portland Trail Blazers’ imposing big man Jusuf Nurkic suffered a season-ending injury. The Bosnian experienced a nasty fall that resulted in compound fractures in his left tibia and fibula, putting an end to his most impressive season yet. The whole league shuddered and later many players sent their condolences to the 24-year-old, including Celtics legend Isaiah Thomas.

The injury itself is one of the more stomach-churning breaks that the league has seen which was made worse by the referee inexplicably kicking Nurkic’s foot as he laid on the ground.
