Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Headed to Phoenix in Lillard deal
Nurkic was traded to the Suns on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal between Phoenix, Portland and Milwaukee, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The deal also sends Damian Lillard to Milwaukee and Jrue Holiday and Deandre Ayton to Portland.
While Lillard and Holiday are the big headliners, Nurkic brings some much-needed big man depth to Phoenix in the wake of Ayton being shipped to Portland in the deal. For the most part, Nurkic has struggled with injuries over the last four seasons, playing 52, 56, 37 and eight games, respectively. When healthy, he's a productive source of points, rebounds and defensive stats, but he'll likely slide in as a secondary piece on a Suns roster that has plenty of offensive firepower.

Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Will remain out Thursday
Nurkic (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Spurs.
Nurkic will miss an eighth straight game Thursday, and he'll presumably remain sidelined for Portland's final two regular-season games, as well. Drew Eubanks (back) and Trendon Watford (ankle) have both been playing increased roles in Nurkic's absence, but if either of them have to miss time, John Butler and Jabari Walker would be candidates for elevated usage.

Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Remains out Tuesday
Nurkic (knee) will not play Tuesday at Memphis.
For whatever reason, the Blazers continue to update the statuses of Nurkic, Jerami Grant (quad) and Anfernee Simons (foot) on a game-to-game basis, but all three players are essentially shut down. Tuesday will mark Nurkic's seventh straight absence, and he's highly unlikely to play in any of the team's remaining games this week.

Nurkic has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful and will likely be sidelined for the first time since March 6, which was the end of a month-long absence due to a calf injury. If Nurkic is ruled out, Drew Eubanks figures to move back into the starting lineup, while Trendon Watford would also be a candidate for increased minutes off the bench.

Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Termed questionable for Friday
Nurkic is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to right knee soreness.
Nurkic's injury pops up at an unfortunate time, as the big man is coming off of back-to-back 20-point efforts for Portland. He could still take the floor against the Bulls, but it will be worth monitoring his status ahead of the 10 p.m. ET opening tipoff. Drew Eubanks would presumably draw the start if Nurkic can't play.
