SALT LAKE CITY — Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic was ruled out of Tuesday night’s 120-112 win over the Utah Jazz because of left ankle soreness.
Nurkic started each of the Suns’ first 10 games, averaging 9.9 points and 10.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes. He played just 15 minutes in Sunday’s 127-118 overtime loss to Sacramento, going scoreless and grabbing seven rebounds before exiting after the first half because of the ankle injury.
The Suns were also missing Kevin Durant, who sustained a left calf strain in a win over Dallas on Nov. 8 and is expected to sit out at least two weeks.
Ryan Dunn started in Durant’s place and Mason Plumlee started for Nurkic.
