With 2:22 remaining in the second overtime between Portland and Brooklyn on Monday night, Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic suffered a serious leg injury after battling for an offensive rebound. The Bosnian laid on the floor for several minutes and was ultimately removed from the court on a stretcher.
Nurkic had been amidst a career performance, dominating against the Nets' smaller lineups to the tune of 32 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.
The Blazers entered the contest fourth in the Western Conference standings, much in part thanks to Nurkic's steady two-way presence.
