Jusuf Nurkic

Jusuf Nurkić will be sidelined for at least 4 weeks after suffering a partial plantar plate tear of second toe in right foot.

Nurkic suffered the injury earlier this week. He'll be sidelined for at least the first couple weeks of the season.

Jusuf Nurkic did not participate in Monday's practice due to a right foot injury.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic logged 11 minutes in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets but was unable to practice on Monday. It remains unclear if the center will play in Tuesday's preseason rematch against the Nuggets.

Jusuf Nurkic intends to sign a 2-year, $22 million deal to return to the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic dealt with some injuries and played in just 41 games last season, but had a successful first year in Utah. The big man averaged 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. The Jazz's frontcourt depth could still see some shakeup this offseason, as Walker Kessler is the subject of many trade rumors.

Jusuf Nurkic will undergo a surgical procedure on his nose Tuesday that will sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic has not played since the All-Star break due to a nose injury and will now undergo surgery to address the issue. He finishes the 2025-26 season averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes across 41 games. With him sidelined, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar should see plenty of action for the rest of the season.

Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic will miss another game for the Jazz. Kyle Filipowski should continue to see more run down low.
