Why are they sending the Beast to the Bay area? Are they trying to kill him?!

 

[ehizzy3]

Sending him to practice ?

 

[wizenheimer]

does this seem a little confusing?

he was supposedly scheduled to play Sunday, and there are 3 days between the Memphis game Thursday and the game Sunday. Time for practice then?

Nurk himself talked about going to Sac for a practice or two. This 'assignment' to the g-league is just a procedural thing. It keeps everything compliant in case Nurk gets injured or more likely injures another player during practice.

Well, we don't have many players to have practice against him as our starters need rest, not practice at this stage.
