Jusuf Nurkic of Portland Trailblazers was leading the Bosnia and Herzegovina’s squad and Rudy Gobert of Minnesota Timberwolves tried his best to stop them but France had an unfortunate ending. After the game went to double overtime. The final score stands at 96-90 favoring Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Jusuf Nurkic’s career could have been a lot great in NBA than what it is today if the injuries didn’t sideline and ruin him with limited options. But the future for him and the Portland Trailblazers can be bright now. As they have started to build a young and talented roster around Damian Lillard and even Jusuf Nurkic is a part of that system. First many doubted this decision of the Portland Trailblazers as they kept him instead of trading him away. But now watching him being back in the form and dominate guys like Rudy Gobert most of those chirping mouths are shut downed.
In the FIBA World Cup Qualifier game between Bosnia and Herzegovina and France. Jusuf Nurkic was really putting in the work and eventually carried his team across to win it all after a great battle. He dropped 21 points and got 9 rebounds while Rudy who got dunked on by him was limited to only 10 points and 14 rebounds. The second overtime period really changed it all and now fans are giving Portland Trailblazers’ center the right respect he deserves.
