Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic had a sensational 31-rebound performance in Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bosnian big man shook off a neck issue to play 32 minutes in the contest, and he set a new franchise record with his efforts on the glass. It's the most rebounds a player has had in the NBA for 13 years. Nurkic also tallied 14 points for his third double-double in four games and dished out four assists while blocking one shot. The Suns center took full advantage of a favorable matchup, as the Thunder have the fourth-lowest rebounding rate in the league. With him having also recently produced a 22-rebound performance against the Lakers, Nurkic is averaging an incredible 19.0 rebounds per game for his last four outings.
Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday night's showdown with OKC. The Suns recently listed their official injury designations, and Nurkic is on the report because of neck spasms. Fortunately, it doesn't appear it will be enough to keep the 29-year-old off the court. However, things happen, so Bol Bol and Drew Eubanks could get more minutes if Nurkic suffers a setback before opening tip.
On Thursday, Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is available against the Houston Rockets. The 29-year-old played in the Sun's last contest, logging 18 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes of play against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 25th. In his 11th NBA season, the Bosnian big man is having a solid year and should be a mainstay in all fantasy lineups when available.
Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Houston Rockets. The Bosnian big man was able to play in their last game as well where he registered 18 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and three turnovers across 37 minutes. Nurkic is in the middle of his third season while averaging double-digit rebounds and his second-best season in terms of assists per game with 3.8. He should remain in all fantasy lineups whenever he's active, especially given that he's in the top 90 in terms of nine-category leagues. The last time the Suns played the Rockets, Nurkic was absent and they dominated the boards, that should change with him back in the lineup.
Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic put in a dominating performance in rebounding on Sunday against the Lakers, grabbing a season-high 22 boards in a 123-113 victory.

Following his return from a one-game absence, Nurkic logged 37 minutes, and his efforts included 18 points, seven assists, one steal, and one block. He shot 7-for-12 from the field and went 4-for-5 with his free throws. Nurkic looks set for a productive week, with back-to-back games against Houston coming up. Centers are shooting 56 percent against the Rockets and register 14.7 rebounds per 48 minutes against them.
