Jusuf Nurkic Dominates The Boards Versus Lakers
10 months agoPhoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic put in a dominating performance in rebounding on Sunday against the Lakers, grabbing a season-high 22 boards in a 123-113 victory. He had more rebounds than Anthony Davis and LeBron James combined (21), picking up seven of them on the offensive end alone. Following his return from a one-game absence, Nurkic logged 37 minutes, and his efforts included 18 points, seven assists, one steal, and one block. He shot 7-for-12 from the field and went 4-for-5 with his free throws. Nurkic looks set for a productive week, with back-to-back games against Houston coming up. Centers are shooting 56 percent against the Rockets and register 14.7 rebounds per 48 minutes against them.
