Bio je to povratak Nurkića u Denver, a osim što se vratio u Pepsi Centar u kojem je počeo svoju NBA karijeru, vratio se i u dvoranu u kojoj je prošle godine njegov Portland igrao polufinalnu seriju Zapadne konferencije, piše “Avaz“.
Tokom te serije komentator Radio Denvera i analitičar Skot Hestings (Scott Hastings) rekao je: “Uvijek izigrava mangupa, udarite ga u cjevanicu“, misleći na Nurkića.
“Kick him in the shin.”

Budući da je Nurkić ranije te sezone slomio nogu, košarkaški svijet bio je šokiran izjavom Hestingsa.
Riječi komentatora nije zaboravio Nurkić pa je u Denver došao s majicom na kojoj je pisalo “Udari ga u cjevanicu“, te crtežom noge i strelicom koja pokazuje cjevanicu.
Nurk’s troll game continues here in Denver, as he appears to be wearing a “kick him in the shin” shirt. For those who don’t recall, Denver announcer said that on radio broadcast during playoffs last season. #RipCity pic.twitter.com/RTndB1vVDR
