Nuggets' Nurkic makes season debut vs. Warriors

Stop the presses, Denver Nuggets fans, "The Bosnian Beast" is back.

Jusuf Nurkic played his first game of the 2015-16 campaign against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

The Nuggets celebrated the return of their second-year center on Friday via Twitter.

The 7-foot native of Bosnia and Herzegovina has yet to see game action this season after undergoing knee surgery in May.
