Jusuf Nurkic has been diagnosed with a nondisplaced fibular fracture in his right leg. He will be out two weeks and then reevaluated.
In 20 games since joining Portland, Nurkic is averaging 15.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.25 assists in 29.2 minutes. The Blazers are currently considered the favorites for the eighth seed in the Western Conference, over Denver, the team that gave them Nurkic via a trade.
