Now that he's said he's starting, I feel better saying this:
I feel like the team kind of put Nurk in a no-win position. The positive spin is that Stotts was being coy and letting Nurk break the news. But I feel like with the coach saying "it's up to him", he HAS to say yes. Normally it's "well, the doctors haven't cleared him" or "he can't get comfortable making the moves he needs to to be safe on the court"....but with "sure, he can play if he wants to" means if he's like "naw, it kinda hurts" he's lost his teammates, the fans and the City.
But I hope he puts up 20/20/and a tech on Draymond tonight.
