Nurkic (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Nurkic left Friday's loss to Indiana early due to a left thumb sprain and had been deemed questionable for Sunday. The big man will turn his sights on preparing for Monday's matchup versus the Heat, while Drew Eubanks, Chimezie Metu and Udoka Azubuike are candidates for increased roles versus Orlando. Despite significant pain and swelling in his thumb, Nurkic may play in Miami, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
