Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic left tonight’s contest between the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers with a shoulder contusion (bruise). The injury occurred in the first half. Nurkic did not return for the second half and has been declared out for the remainder of the evening.
Nurkic went back to the locker room in the first half after what looked like an ankle sprain, but he returned to the bench later in the half. Still hasn't returned to the floor so far early in the third quarter.
