Haynes: Juswuf Nurkić To Return For March 15 Game Versus Rockets

According to reports, the Bosnian Beast is almost back.

Chris Haynes at Yahoo! Sports posted an interview with Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkiu0107, who has not played since breaking his left left in a double overtime victory versus the Brooklyn Nets on March 25, 2019, in which the 7-0 center says he will make his return in the March 15 game versus the Houston Rockets at the Moda Center...

Nurkic returned to practice on Jan. 23, and he’s been itching to rejoin his teammates in game action.

“I worked my ass off to be in position to get back on the court and help my team, but game speed is going to be different,” Nurkic told Yahoo Sports.
