Jusuf Nurkić ties season high with 22 rebounds vs. Lakers

Coming off a one-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Jusuf Nurkiu0107 helped snap the Suns two-game losing streak in dominant fashion, posting 18 points, 22 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes, as the Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Lakers 123-113.

The Suns were coming off a disappointing 114-110 loss to the Houston Rockets Friday. However, today they returned home to Footprint Center, where they have now won eight in a row.

“Every time we step on the floor at home, we want to protect the home(court),” Nurkiu0107 said. “(I) obviously didn’t play last game.
