Notice Blazers announce Jusuf Nurkic suffered a non-displacement fibular fracture in his right leg.

[The Professional Fan]

Big picture, yes. I get it. But our season is over. That sucks.

 

[DaLong]

Even if we don't make playoffs or go down to GS, think long term people. It was always about next season.

 

[riverman]

Send Quarterman to the D league and bring in Chris Kaman on a couple 10 day contracts.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

See I told you he was the next coming of Walton!!

 

[Mediocre Man]

So that's two leg injuries in 2 years?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Im not happy. We won too many for tanking.

Well in fairness at least you get lottery balls which you wouldn't have otherwise

Don't you mean it IS always about next season?

 

[Trackjack]

That doesn't look good for us but we will see who going to step up to take his place. But I don't see it I guess Nurk shouldn't said that commit to the Nuggets it might have back fire.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We'll be fine. Atleast he's not out till next year. It could be worse. It's only 2 weeks. Seems minor

Reevaluate in 2 weeks, doesn't mean he'll be cleared to play in 2 weeks.

 

[ripcityboy]

Honestly, I don't want him coming back too soon. Nurkic is too important in the long term.

 

[DaLong]

Don't you mean it IS always about next season?

Feels that the way, but you cannot deny things we were like 15-5 with Nurk, but it's a bit late in the season to be the thIrd best team.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Reevaluate in 2 weeks, doesn't mean he'll be cleared to play in 2 weeks.

Nurk will just strap two iron sledge hammers to the leg and play in a splint.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Beyond anything the reg season ceases to be fun anymore. I liked having fun

[A$AP Meyers]

they may of well have said he's done for the year. he won't be back and i don't want him coming back anyways. it's not worth losing 4-0 or 4-1 to GSW. it's all good, long term people

Other was a slight tear of the left patellar tendOn

Just this morning I said to a co-worker "I hope that comment doesn't bite him in the ass"

 

[Trackjack]

Hornets just beat the Nuggets

 

[riverman]

Time for a lot of small ball....Shabazz Napier will get serious playoff burn too...it's going to be Vonleh, Aminu, Harkless and Leonard ..some Turner in the post..against the Warriors that might be the best plan now anyway. Small ball shooting practice and playoff experience combined...

Yep the key word is "reevaluated". I'd say 4-5 weeks is more realistic. I'd rather have a better pick lol

 

[damianlillard]

i seriously hope that this news is fake

 

[ripcityboy]

Well. I hope y'all like baseball.

Dude, we're now the same dreadful team we've been all year but without Plums. Ugh.

Right, so the knee, or leg injury

Different leg.

yup.....although we surely now qualify for an injury exception to sign a big I would think?

 

[Boise Blazer]

So I'm going to go to the kitchen to make a drink, anyone else need one?

Have you seen Nurkic's calves/lower body? Your argument has little traction. Even tanks get dents.

 

[illmatic99]

Seems like 4 weeks is standard
