Jusuf Nurkic back to practising with the Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkic is back, not playing games yet, but he’s back practising with his Trail Blazers teammates. He is participating in five on five drills as well as participating in full contact drills. According to Jason Quick of The Athletic there is no official date for his return though.

This probably just means though that they are waiting to see how his body responds to the full contact training. He has been out for almost a year but in that time he has lost weight and got in better shape.

There will be no rush for Nurkic to return though, the original statement from Nurkic himself said that was hoping to return around the all-star break.
