Participates in light practice Whiteside (Achilles) went through Saturday's light practice, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.
Productive in first scrimmage Nurkic went for 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, a steal and a block in Thursday's scrimmage against the Pacers.
Impact In his first true game action since March of 2019, Nurkic looked like his old self, coming out aggressively and taking 10 shots in just 20 minutes of action. He also led the team in boards. It remains to be seen how the Blazers will split minutes at center, as Hassan Whiteside (Achilles) did not play Thursday.

Won't scrimmage Thursday Whiteside will sit out Thursday's scrimmage against the Pacers due to an Achilles issue, Blazers reporter Casey Holdahl reports.
Impact This is the first we've heard of the injury, and the Blazers will play it safe with Whiteside in their opening scrimmage. Jusuf Nurkic will get the starting nod at center, with Zach Collins also returning to the lineup at power forward.

Impact Collins hasn't played since injuring his shoulder back in October, but he's been deemed fully healthy, and the face of the franchise sees him as the starter at power forward. The implication is that Jusuf Nurkic (leg) would take over for Hassan Whiteside at center, while Carmelo Anthony would likely start at small forward after Trevor Ariza opted out of playing in Orlando. For what it's worth, coach Terry Stotts did note that he hasn't ruled out starting Nurkic and Whiteside together.
