Nurkić’s tweet read: “With KD, Book, and me, we’re the Big 3. We have a chance to compete at the highest level.” This statement came amidst ongoing trade rumors and his recent benching by head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Suns’ Current Lineup and Performance

The Suns have been experimenting with different lineups this season, and the recent decision to bench Nurkić in favor of Mason Plumlee and rookie Oso Ighodaro has shown positive results. Since the change, the Suns have won three of their last four games, improving their standing in the Western Conference.

Jusuf Nurkić’s Role and Performance

Despite his claim, Nurkić’s performance this season has been underwhelming. He averages 8.6 points on 45.5 percent shooting and 9.2 rebounds per game. The Suns have also maintained a minus-6.5 net rating with him on the floor. These statistics have led to questions about his place in the team’s future plans.
