What It Means
This suspension is a setback for Jusuf Nurkic and the Phoenix Suns. He has been a key player, averaging 8.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season. His absence will impact the team’s performance, especially in rebounding where he often finishes among the top players.
The Suns will need to rely on Mason Plumlee and Bol Bol to fill in during Nurkic’s suspension. Plumlee averages 4.1 points per game while Bol Bol averages 3.3 points per game. Both players will need to step up their contributions in order to cover for Nurkic’s absence.
