On March 21, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Trail Blazers and Pacers showdown, Nurkic clashed with pacers fans on the sidelines.
In this game, the Pacers beat the Blazers 129-98 at home, giving their opponents four straight losses. Nurkic continued to truce due to injury, but he clashed with the fans on the sidelines.
According to the US media "ClutchPoints" report, Nurkic was very dissatisfied with the words and deeds of a fan on the sidelines, and he walked towards the fan and became angry.
Nurkic not only read words on his lips, angrily rebuked the fan, the two scolded each other, and what was even more surprising was that he directly snatched the mobile phone from the fans' hands and threw it away. The fan was also a little frightened by the sudden move, and the Pacers home security rushed over to block the two before Nurkic turned and left.
There is no doubt that Nurkic's behavior will definitely be severely punished by the NBA official, and the fans involved may also be banned from watching the game at home by the Pacers if they have outrageous words and deeds.
The Blazers have already chosen to give up this season, with Nurkic suffering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot at the end of last month and is still in the recovery phase. So far this season, Nurkic has averaged 28.2 minutes per game, 15 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 53.5% from the field.
