Jusuf Nurkic Suffers Calf Strain After Practice

Well guys, it’s not good news. I’m trying to pin this down. The most I can pin down for you right now is that Nurkic had a calf strain in the moments after his return to the full-court practice and full-contact practice. His calf had a reaction to that. I don’t know if he’s practiced after that. I don’t know how serious it is. I saw him last night walking into the arena. He was walking fine, without a limp. But the last two games he has not come out to sit on the bench. I don’t want to set off alarms, but I can tell you that I have learned that he has suffered a calf strain. I don’t know if it’s on the left leg, which is where he broke the bones. I don’t know if it’s on his right leg. There has been a, I don’t even know if I can call it a setback, but he has had a reaction to his return to practice that is a little bit of a calf strain. Again, I’m trying to get more information and get some comments from the Blazers, but understandably they’ve been a little tight-lipped today.

there’s always snubs. there just aren’t enough spots to accommodate every ‘worthy’ player. it’s pretty simple. people calling for heads for Beal, Booker and others but it’s not like there are handfuls of egregious selections. winning has always been rewarded

The Booker snub is egregious though.. He's having an uber efficient high volume scoring year and his team isn't even out of the playoff race. The only reason he wasn't rewarded is because his name isn't Russell Westbrook.

I don’t really disagree, it’s tough making the ASG over certified HOF guys like Russ and CP3 though, especially when they are on winning teams. The winning teams shyt is always a huge factor. End of the day it’s more about not enough spots than players getting egregiously snubbed. It happens every year. The outrage for Booker and Beal seems higher this year because the inflated stats we are seeing this season make the snubs seem more severe than usual.
