Report: Jusuf Nurkic out on Rising Stars game

77

The man with a lot of Nuggets news, Shams Charania of Real GM, tweeted that Nurkic will not play in the Rising Stars Challenge over All Star weekend. Nurkic was added to the team as an injury replacement for Thunder center Steven Adams. On a recent broadcast, Scott Hastings and Chris Marlowe of Altitude TV said that Nurkic had made plans to go home to Bosnia over the All Star break. While Nurkic's family visited him recently state-side, Juka has not been home since coming to the United States. I've only lived outside of Colorado for a year, I was only four hours away, but I still got home sick. I initially wanted Juka to be a part of the rookie vs sophomore game (this year it will be the US vs the World), but after he was left off - I have no bones with him choosing to keep his plans to go home. It'll be good for the rookie to regroup and see familiar faces and places back home. Good for Juka.

Afflalo questions team game plan

352

"In my mind, I think effort and all that is cool, you have to play harder and all that. But at some point in time you have to be a little bit smarter, maybe change the game plan a little bit and start executing a little bit better on both ends of the court, and play to our advantages. So, it's a mixture of things, that you carry on from last game, and you try to carry into this game. Obviously whatever we're doing is not working, and you gotta make some changes." -Arron Afflalo following the Pistons loss on Feb 6th.
