The 7-0 center out of Bosnian and Herzegovina<\/a> suffered a broken right wrist in the third quarter of Thursday\u2019s game versus the Pacers Thursday night at the Moda Center.<\/p>\nThe injury occurred around the 8:40 mark of the third quarter, as Nurkic fell after contesting a drive attempt by Pacers center Myles Turner. Nurkic took a hard fall to the floor and remained there for some time before getting up and immediately heading to the locker room with members of the team\u2019s medical staff. X-rays taken taken during the game showed a fracture to his right wrist, which, depending on the severity and location of the break, could sideline the center for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s game was the 20th regular season game Nurkic had played since returning from a broken leg suffering in a win versus the Nets back in March of 2019. His status going forward is to be determined, though he is almost certain to miss significant time with a fractured wrist.<\/p>\n
Nurkic is averaging 10.3 points on 51 percent shooting, 7.6 rebounds. 2.8 assists, a steal and a block in 23.6 minutes per game this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
