Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was dealing with a calf issue, but now picked up an ankle injury. If he sits out, Drew Eubanks figures to move into the starting five. He hasn't exactly done much during his starts recently. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option on a 14-game slate.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) will suit up to meet the Timberwolves on Friday. The 29-year-old logged 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. But he popped up on the injury report because of calf soreness. However, the Suns need every win they can get, so it will take more than that to keep Nurkic off the floor. He struggled the last time he faced Minnesota, finishing with just three points. While there's a good chance Nurkic will play better this time around, the injury could limit his workload enough to lower his fantasy ceiling.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is back on the injury report due to left calf soreness. If he sits, Drew Eubanks is expected to move into the starting five during Friday's game. He'd be worth looking at as a streaming option if given the starting nod. Thaddeus Young would also see more minutes, but wouldn't be as viable of an option.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is available to play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Suns will get their starting center back after he missed one game due to an ankle sprain. He will have an interesting matchup going against Thunder center Chet Holmgren. Fantasy managers will want to make sure they have Nurkic back in their lineup, as he is averaging a double-double on the season (11.3 PPG and 11 RPB). Drew Eubanks filled in for Nurkic last game but will return to a reserve role on Friday.

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.
