Issued three-game suspension
Nurkic will serve a three-game suspension for his role in an on-court altercation during Friday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis
Nurkic got into a physical altercation with Naji Marshall in the third quarter of the contest and struck Marshall on the head before being ejected. Nurkic's suspension will begin Saturday at Golden State, meaning his next chance to play will come Jan. 6 against the 76ers. While he's sidelined, Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro should handle most of the center work.

Ejected from Friday's game
Nurkic was ejected in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Mavericks after getting into an altercation with Naji Marshall, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Nurkic ended the game with three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 14 minutes.
Analysis
Marshall and Nurkic exchanged words after the Suns' big man was assessed with an offensive foul, and the two had to be separated after throwing punches at each other. P.J. Washington was also ejected on the same sequence after he got into the argument and pushed Nurkic to the hardwood. The absence of Nurkic will translate into more minutes for the likes of Oso Ighodaro and Mason Plumlee, although Kevin Durant could also slide to the five in an attempt to play with a small-ball lineup.

Logs 15 minutes Monday
Nurkic registered four points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Monday's 117-90 loss to Denver.
Analysis
Nurkic logged one of his worst performances of the season Monday, as he was limited to just 15 minutes while looking completely overmatched against Nikola Jokic. That said, the fact that he committed four fouls in those 15 minutes wasn't ideal, either. Nurkic is going through a dry spell of late, as he's failed to reach the 15-point mark in his last seven appearances dating back to Nov. 26. He's averaging 9.4 points per game despite shooting 56.5 percent from the floor in that span.
