Jusuf Nurkic is facing one of the most pivotal moments of his career, and it is playing out under the harsh glare of both international and NBA scrutiny. Bosnia and Herzegovina head coach Adis Beciragic did not hold back following his team’s 102-90 loss to Montenegro in Sarajevo, bluntly stating that:
“Nurkic is out of shape and can barely run.”
While the veteran center did manage 15 points in the defeat, his coach’s assessment painted a far more troubling picture, one of a player whose conditioning is well below the standard required at the highest levels.
