Tuesday Afternoon Rip City received the news that Jusuf Nurkic will be out of the lineup for Game 2. However, Kevin Durant is now listed as questionable and may miss the game as well.

Despite all of Rip City collectively praying for the Bosnian Beast to compete with the Warriors, his status for even entering the series is still in question.

The Oregonian Blazer Beat Reporter Joe Freeman broke the news Tuesday afternoon that Nurkic will in fact miss game 2.

Nurk already went on record that he wants to suit up and compete in the playoffs, but his time will have to wait. A young emerging star who has never played in the playoffs before… he must be itching to play.

Especially against a star studded team like the Warriors.
