Jusuf Nurkic Ruled Out For Game 4

[RealGM Wiretap]

Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out of Game 4 by the Portland Trail Blazers after returning for Game 3.

"He didn't do any further damage," Terry Stotts said on Sunday. "There was soreness, tenderness and it just wouldn't be wise to have him play through that."

Nurkic was limited to 3-to-5 minute shifts in Game 3.

Nurkic's mobility was limited though he made an impact on the game.

"It was a really good effort I thought," Stotts said. "He's a big part of our team and not only was it a good effort for these playoffs and this team, but I think going forward it spoke a lot to who he is and what kind of teammate he is."

Even with a healthy Nurkic the blazers have no shot of winning this series. Rest that dude, add a piece in the summer and maybe they can make some more noise but golden state is going to be tough to beat any year they have 4 all stars.
