Nurkic had been sidelined by a gruesome leg injury sustained in March 2019.
Boston Celtics Preview
The Boston Celtics get another chance to shake off the rust when they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. In their first game of the season restart, the Celtics shot 40.7 percent (37 of 91) as a team in a 119-112 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Milwaukee Bucks.
All-Star Jayson Tatum in particular struggled, shooting 2-of-18 with five points. Boston eyes a top-four spot in the East, with the seeding games providing a chance for star guard Kemba Walker (16 points in 19 minutes Friday) to ramp back up from a sore knee.
