Jusuf Nurkić's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nurkic is in danger of missing his second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. The Suns started Drew Eubanks in Nurkic's spot during a win over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday evening. Thaddeus Young and Bol Bol were the reserves to get more time in a game without their starting center active. Nurkic is one of the rare consistent contributors for Phoenix's limited roster depth, and they badly need wins to end the regular season, so keep an eye on the injury report before game time.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) might have to skip Wednesday's battle against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. He tweaked his right ankle against the Spurs on Monday and has been listed as questionable on the injury report. Drew Eubanks will be asked to step up in a big way if Nurkic isn't able to go on Wednesday. He will find himself in a really tough matchup but should be able to improve on his season averages in a bigger role. Eubanks has posted 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds across 15.7 minutes for the campaign.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (eye) will be in the lineup on Saturday versus Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Phoenix's starting center has been upgraded from probable to available. Saturday will mark Nurkic's 14th consecutive appearance. He's been quiet offensively this month and will likely also find it tough on the attacking end against Wembanyama, but Nurkic averages 14.3 rebounds for the month with 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. He should still be productive for fantasy managers in a fast-paced game.

Phoenix Suns guard Jusuf Nurkic (calf) will play on Tuesday night against the Nuggets. The 2014 No. 16 overall pick was on the injury report for Sunday's game versus OKC because of neck spasms. However, he played and finished with 31 rebounds, a franchise record. But Nurkic was dealing with calf soreness heading into this one, and after he was downgraded to questionable, there were concerns about his availability. Yet, he is good to go for the meeting with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. The 29-year-old had 31 points versus Denver in early December, which is an extra incentive for fantasy managers to get him in the starting lineup.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is considered questionable for the meeting with Denver on Tuesday evening. The 29-year-old appeared on the injury report before Sunday's game against OKC because of neck spasms. However, it must not have been much of an issue, considering he amassed 31 rebounds, a new Suns' franchise record. But now Nurkic is bothered by calf tightness, so Drew Eubanks and Bol Bol could be in line for more work if he doesn't suit up. Of course, neither man is as dependable from a fantasy perspective, although both could serve as viable value options for DFS managers.
