Unlike most people who suffer from this kind of injury, Nurk is getting seen by a medical professional daily, if not more often. We have to trust the Blazers' medical staff to get him into games as quick as reasonably possible.

I bet if it were already the playoffs, and the series were competitive, that they'd let him play limited minutes. This is definitely a "let it heal now before the playoffs so he can play at full pace" sort of a deal.
 
I actually had this same injury last September. It felt like I hit my funny bone for a month. My doctor told me I could walk on it, but to avoid high impact exercise for a couple of weeks. It's more annoying than painful or debilitating.

This should make it crystal clear. NOBODY EVER EVER EVER SAY THE K WORD WHEN TALKING ABOUT A CENTER ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!

A couple of you said that word when you 'hoped' nothing would happen to Nurk's *****. Don't do that anymore. No more saying it to be funny, No more saying knock on wood after saying that curse word. Don't fucking say it!!!!!

Utterance of that word should be a ban able offence of 1 year. I am serious about this. @SlyPokerDog, @DennyCrane.

I am livid right now.

Sucks about the big guy. But this is really a minor thing and Nurk will be fine. He'll be back to 100% in no time. Now, back to exercising my free speech... I'm glad it wasn't Nurk's knee. Lord knows we've had enough problems with injury prone centers. But, Nurk's knee is fine, and going forward, there is nothing to suggest Nurk's knee is injury prone.

Fuck curses and jinxes. I don't believe in them. Whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what we post or what we do. It wasn't me who brought up Nurk's knee before, but no one is gonna tell me what I can and can't post while within forum rules.

Trust the Blazers medical staff? I will just say that history is not on your side.

They're resting him; I'm sure it's a real "injury" but more like a shin splint than a "omg broken bone"...

If he is unable to play of reinjures himself we are done. The Utah game proved that.

You should take a step back and look at how broken your logic is.

Just because the old medical staff was involved with injured players does not mean this new medical staff sucks and will fail to properly address player injuries.

The only logic is "we is CURSED!" which is not logic at all.
 
I think the goal for Nurkic's body needs to be DeAndre Jordan. Jordan weighs 265, and is almost all muscle. Nurkic at 265 would be an absolute beast. He'd still be extremely strong (like Jordan).

I also think that losing those 15 pounds would make him insanely athletic for his size. Think of the difference between Ed Davis last year and this year in terms of quickness and energy. Now imagine Nurkic gaining that extra quickness and energy. I think he'd be a top 3 rim protector in the league. He already has great instincts, and he's already a very quick jumper at his size.

At 265, he'd be an even quicker jumper, and would jump higher. He'd be like Whiteside.

Offensively, his rolls would be even quicker and I think he would constantly dunk over defenders. I think with that extra step he could develop a deadly faceup game, reminiscent of DeMarcus Cousins.

If he could get his body to where Jordan's is, he'd probably be the best center in the entire league. I honestly believe that. It'd also make him less injury prone than he is now.

Completely agreed; I think of how good Joel became after dropping from 280 to 260.
 
On Curses:

“I don’t believe in curses,” Pedro Martinez once said. “Wake up the Bambino and I’ll face him. Maybe I’ll drill him in the ass.”
