In the past two games, Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts has played Ed Davis at center in the fourth quarter instead of Jusuf Nurkic. On Sunday, Nurkic spoke with the media and downplayed any issues with the move by Stotts.
"No drama, man," Nurkic told The Oregonian. "It's all about the [next] game."
Nurkic has spoken with Stotts and said their relationship is in good standing. Stotts said Davis got the nod to finish out the past two games because he was playing better than Nurkic.
"Honestly, the game against Brooklyn we were down seven and I went with Ed and we went from down seven to up five," Stotts said.
