Jusuf Nurkic had 24 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 34 minutes on Saturday. His 33rd double-double of the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season wasn’t enough for the Portland Trail Blazers that were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center.

To make matters worse, CJ McCollum left the game due to a left knee injury. Nurkic’s teammate got hurt midway through the third quarter. Initial x-rays came back clean, but he will travel back to Portland and have an MRI.
