Fantasy Impact:
Nurkic announced on Instagram that his grandmother recently passed away from coronavirus. He’s going to try and give it a go despite a very heavy heart due to the circumstances. He’ll matchup with Grizzlies C Jonas Valanciunas, in what should be a great matchup between two very skilled big men. This game should be a good one, but we understand what Nurkic is dealing with and wish him and his family well during this tough time.
