VIDEO: Nuggets' Nurkic T'd up for being a gentleman
Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
Jusuf Nurkic has been one of the few bright lights in another dark season for the Denver Nuggets.
The 2014 first-round pick received a technical foul Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns for showing some manners. After sending Markieff Morris to the floor (Morris's flop didn't work), Nurkic laid the basketball in for two points, and then made sure Morris had the ball so he could get it back into play.
Chivalry clearly isn't dead, but Nurkic must pick his spots better, we suppose.
More bad news: Nurkic left the game in a wheelchair after suffering an apparent leg injury.
