Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic will miss at least four weeks due to left foot plantar fasciitis, the team announced Wednesday.
Nurkic has been playing through symptoms of the injury since September. He's been productive in 56 starts this season, averaging 15 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while posting 30 double-doubles.
The Trail Blazers, who've been playing without injured franchise star Damian Lillard, sit 10th in the West with a 25-34 record.
Nurkic is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
