Nurkic ended Sunday's 93-86 loss to Boston with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes. Nurkic got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale due to Mark Williams (foot) being sidelined, leading all players in rebounds and steals while finishing with a team-high-tying point total and coming up one board shy of a double-double. Nurkic hauled in at least nine rebounds in 19 outings this season, adding 10 or more points in 14 of those contests.

Jusuf Nurkic Latest News
Flirts with double-double in start

Nurkic ended Sunday's 93-86 loss to Boston with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 29 minutes. Nurkic got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale due to Mark Williams (foot) being sidelined, leading all players in rebounds and steals while finishing with a team-high-tying point total and coming up one board shy of a double-double. Nurkic hauled in at least nine rebounds in 19 outings this season, adding 10 or more points in 14 of those contests.
In starting lineup

Nurkic is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Celtics on Sunday. With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Nurkic will make his ninth start for the Hornets on Sunday (and sixth since the beginning of March). Nurkic has averaged 15.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 21.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.
Dishes six dimes against Boston

Nurkic closed Friday's 130-94 loss to Boston with 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 19 minutes. Not known for his passing, Nurkic dished out a team-high six dimes Friday, which is the third time he's done so this season. Over his last five outings, Nurkic has averaged 15.8 points on 55.0 percent shooting, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 21.0 minutes per game over his last five outings (two starts).
Not starting Friday

Nurkic won't start Friday's game against the Celtics. With Mark Williams (foot) and Moussa Diabate (illness) sidelined, Nurkic drew a spot start Wednesday and posted 26 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during a 126-96 loss to the Raptors. However, with Williams back in action, Nurkic will operate off the bench Friday.
Near double-double Wednesday

Nurkic had 26 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-96 loss to the Raptors. After logging a healthy DNP against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Nurkic was inserted into the Hornets' starting lineup due to the absences of Mark Williams (foot) and Moussa Diabate (illness). Nurkic finished as the Hornets' leading rebounder and finished second in scoring behind Nick Smith (28). With two games left in the 2024-25 regular season, Nurkic's playing time will be dependant on the availability of Williams.
Starting against Toronto

Nurkic is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Nurkic was a healthy DNP in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he'll make his eighth start with the Hornets on Wednesday due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Nurkic has averaged 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 16.8 minutes per game since the beginning of March.
Starting sans Williams

Nurkic will start in Friday's game against the Kings. The veteran big man will receive the starting nod due to Mark Williams (back) being sidelined. Nurkic has averaged 10.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals across 24.0 minutes per contest in his last five starts.
Double-double in Sunday's start

Nurkic contributed 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 98-94 loss to the Pelicans. With Mark Williams (rest) getting the night off, Nurkic made his third start in 14 March appearances and delivered his 10th double-double of the season. The three blocks also represented his best defensive performance in 19 contests since joining the Hornets. Nurkic has consistently played 20 minutes or less when coming off the bench, making him an unreliable fantasy option unless he's getting a look in the starting five.
Will start vs. Oklahoma City

Nurkic will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder. Nurkic will be a starter for the Hornets for the fifth time this season Friday in Oklahoma City. The veteran big man is averaging 10.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game as a starter for Charlotte.
