What changed
Points+6.2Probably real
Nurkic's scoring is up 6.2 points a game over his 16 games since Dec 22 (14.7 vs 8.5). Much of it is shooting efficiency: his TS% went from 49.8% to 60.4%, with Walker Kessler out. Probably real: about 65% should hold.

OutNurkic will begin the 2026-27 season on the sidelines, and given the tricky nature of foot injuries for big men, it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this initial four-week window. Jaren Jackson will likely spend more time at center while Nurkic is out, and there will be more minutes available for Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba. Expected back: 2026-11-04.
