Nurkic is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Cavaliers on Friday.

Nurkic was cleared to play Friday after missing three of the Hornets' last five games due to a back injury, and he will get the start due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Nurkic has averaged 6.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over 17.4 minutes per game across seven games (three starts) with Charlotte.
