Description
When the mixture of bruising physicality, nimbleness, and touch around the rim come together in a talented big man, they often look a lot like Jusuf Nurkić. Maximizing his production during an opportunity-heavy first period, the Phoenix Suns’ multifaceted big man constructs a splendid three-play sequence, starting with a right-place-at-the-right-time jam at the rim. In perfect position to follow it with a defensive stop, Nurkić doubles down by swatting away a Charlotte Hornets layup attempt before hustling back in transition, walling off a defender, and putting it just out of his reach for a quick basket. Instrumental in the Phoenix Suns’ high-scoring win on December 29, 2023, Nurkić put together his 10th double-double of the season with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and a pair of blocks.
