Jusuf Nurkic out until after All-Star break

The Portland Trail Blazers announced today that Jusuf Nurkic will be out until after the All-Star break after an MRI revealed a left calf strain.

Nurkic has dealt with a lingering calf injury, and reaggravated the calf just two minutes into Portland’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Nurkic is averaging 13.8 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 minutes per game this season.
