The Portland Trail Blazers have lost Jusuf Nurkic for an indefinite period due to a fractured wrist suffered in their loss to the Indiana Pacers last night. The natural question resounding through the halls of Blazerdom and in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag is how they’ll cope.

We don’t know yet. We hope to find out in the next day or two as the Blazers release information on treatment and prognosis. But we’re almost certainly looking at multiple weeks or months, plus readjustment time.
