Nurkic said he has lost more than 10 pounds but added muscle as he’s ramped up his rehab. And as he continues to improve, he isn’t merely focusing on his health, but rather, on becoming a better and more skilled player. “I’m not expecting myself to just do the rehab,” he said. “I want to get better. I want to get better as a player. I want to get better as a person. I see a lot of things differently (away) from the court, from the bench, and the locker room.”
