Nurkic last 10 games box

Jusuf’s consistent rebounding and facilitating nature has given the Jazz young scorers, Keyonte & Ace in particular, the space to grow as just that, primary scorers. He’s also provided size to pair next to, and relieve, blossoming big man Kyle Filipowski. Nurkic has had a resurgence in his last 10..

β€œIt’s not easy,” Avdija said about adjusting to facing double teams and hard denials from the defense. β€œWhen I came to the league at first, people would leave me wide open in the corner. … It definitely gives you a little boost of confidence that you hurt teams.”

Deni Avdija is Getting the Star Treatment From Defenses β€œIt definitely gives you a little boost of confidence that you hurt teams.”

Blazers forward Deni Avdija has played like a star all season. Now he’s facing the next level in a star basketball player’s evolution: the opposing defense’s utmost attention.

OKC threw the kitchen sink at Avdija on Sunday, and he still produced a monster triple-double in the 123-115 loss.

Potential NBA Cup Clincher Turns Into Another Hard Lesson for Blazers The Blazers couldn’t rise to the occasion on Wednesday.

While fan perspectives may vary on the NBA Cup, the Blazers' postgame words and demeanor reflected a common sentiment after their loss to the Spurs.

This moment mattered to these players, and it's one they want to learn from.

β€œThis is a game you won’t forget just because of how much it stung."

I get more excited about them but they’re so rare…but maybe that’s why they should be celebrated more

I didn’t know the concept of Blackout Wednesday existed until I lived in Chicago. The rumors about the Midwest are true

Same. I didn’t think they’d be able to hang with the warriors with all the injuries. They’ve got their pop back in this game

Blazers say Scoot Henderson continues to progress through his rehabilitation for a left hamstring tear and will be re-evaluated in 2-4 weeks.

The team also says Jrue Holiday will be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks due to a right calf strain.

Blazers announce Shaedon Sharpe and Jrue Holiday are both out for tonight’s game versus the Warriors. Gonna be a tough one.
