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.”
