Jusuf Nurkic: Ruled out for Game 4

Following a nine-game absence, Nurkic unexpectedly returned to the starting
lineup for Game 3 on Saturday, posting two points, 11 rebounds, four assists and
a block in a limited 17 minutes. It’s unclear if he suffered any sort of setback
or if the Trail Blazers are trying to avoid an aggravation, but coach Terry
Stotts has already announced he’ll hold Nurkic out. The Warriors have a
commanding 3-0 lead and are favorites to close out the series on Monday, so
Nurkic could very well have played his last game of the 2016-17 season. With
Nurkic sidelined, Noah Vonleh is expected to reclaim a spot in the top unit,
while Meyers Leonard should be in line for a bigger role as well.
