The injury to Jusuf Nurkic hampers the Suns' continuity

Center player for the Phoenix Suns Jusuf Nurkic suffered a left middle finger injury on Saturday. He will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers and will be re-evaluated in a week. The announcement was made by Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer.

The Suns, who went through the whole training camp without suffering any injuries, are devastated by the news. They will now be without their starting center for the first three preseason games. Nurkic is as significant, even if many people focus more on the worth of the Big 3—Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant. His grit, aggressiveness, and rebounding are just what this talented Suns team needs. Oso Ighadoro and Mason Plumlee will now benefit from the increased playing time on the floor following his absence.
