Out at least one week
The Suns announced Monday that Nurkic will be re-evaluated in one week due to a right thigh contusion, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Nurkic had previously been battling a left ankle sprain before missing Saturday's win over the Warriors due to an injury that had previously been labeled as a quadricep contusion. He'll now sit out at least the Suns' next four games before getting re-examined. Oso Ighodaro and Mason Plumlee will likely cover nearly all the minutes at center while Nurkic is sidelined. Through 16 games this season, Nurkic is shooting 42 percent from the field and holds averages of 8.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 24.1 minutes.

Out Saturday with quad contusion
Nurkic has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a right quadricep contusion.
Analysis
A left ankle sprain was behind Nurkic's other two absences earlier this month, but the quad issue is a new concern for the center. Head coach Mike Budenholzer had previously labeled Nurkic as probable for Saturday's game following Friday's practice, but the 30-year-old big man evidently didn't heal up as quickly as the Suns anticipated. Look for Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro to cover most of the minutes at center Saturday while Nurkic sits and turns his focus toward getting ready for Tuesday's matchup with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.

Questionable to play Saturday
Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Head coach Mike Budenholzer said after Friday's practice that Nurkic and Bradley Beal (calf) are probable for Saturday's game, though Nurkic is by no means a lock to play. If Nurkic is sidelined, Oso Ighodaro or Mason Plumlee would be the top candidates to enter the Sun's starting lineup.
