During the first half, Nurkic was a dominant presence on the court, securing 10 rebounds and contributing 7 points to the team’s effort. His performance helped the Suns maintain a +1 advantage while on the floor, even as they faced an 8-point deficit to the Rockets at the halfway mark.
Conversely, Drew Eubanks, stepping in as Phoenix’s backup center, has recorded a -10, highlighting the team’s struggle in Nurkic’s absence.
The Suns’ track record this season without Nurkic is telling, standing at 0-4.
