Slated for reserve role Thursday
Nurkic isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against Portland.
Analyse
Nurkic is fresh off an impressive double-double Monday against Dallas but will move to the bench to make room for Walker Kessler, who'll be making his preseason debut after missing time due to a shoulder injury. Despite a strong preseason, Nurkic is slated to be the backup center behind Kessler during the 2025-26 campaign.

Double-doubles in defeat
Nurkic notched 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Monday's 114-101 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Analyse
Nurkic tied the team-high mark in three-pointers and was one of five Jazz players to score in double figures. The veteran big man also led all players in rebounds. After being traded from Charlotte to Utah in June, Nurkic is expected to back up Walker Kessler (shoulder) during the 2025-26 campaign.
