Jusuf Nurkic stepped into the locker room, deafened by the cheers of the Oklahoma City crowd. He sits down, and wonders what got him to this point of his career. The now veteran big man had just finished an extraordinary game putting his team on his back to get the win. This was a big win for the team, as New Orleans needed this win to achieve their offseason goal: To make the playoffs. But this type of performance was nothing new for the former Sacramento King star, who's always had the responsibility of being the team leader. But this time it's different. On a different team, given a different role, Jusuf Nurkic still knows who he is and who he wants to be.
We're without Markelle Fultz until game 5 or 6 of the first round, so it's vital we get at least one win before he returns.Jusuf Nurkic wrote:It's just a weird feeling, having to fly back to Sacramento and play them with a different uniform. I'm used to playing against them in scrimmages, but I never thought I'd see the day where I have to play against Sacramento in an official league game. I grew up there as a CSL player, I raised my family in Sacramento, Sacramento is my home. Even if that is the case, I'll still give 110% on the court. I'm excited to play for my new team, and excited to face off against my old team.
