I'm going to do like Eddie Johnson says and come hip check all you guys who think it's not a big deal. Watch out! You'll never see it coming. Gathering intel now...

I would highly suggest you not try to hip check anyone for your own hip's sake, boomer

You are #1 Saucy! Watch your back!

Jusuf Nurkić out for remainder of 2025-26 season after undergoing nose surgery

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkić will undergo nose surgery this week and miss the remainder of the season.

Jazz coach Will Hardy said before Monday’s game against Houston that Nurkić has needed the procedure for a while.

“He has had a really bad deviated septum in his nose,” Hardy said. “He has gotten hit in the face four or five times this year. His recent sickness has pushed that forward. It’s something that he’s needed to get done for a while now, so he’s going to get it taken care of.”

Why when they can just continue tanking?

I had a septioplasty to correct a bad deviated septum when I was a bit younger. It's no fun, but if they really wanted Nurk back for the end of the season, I think he could come back. More tanking for Utah.

Have y'all seen this video? It breaks down how the Celtics defend bad shooters (they don't bother), and begs the question of how do many terrible shooters can be big contributors on top 10 offenses. It had me wondering about Oso.
