On August 12, the 30-year-old Nurkic may soon be eliminated by the NBA. Recently, the Bosnia and Herzegovina coach criticized Nurkic for being distorted and could hardly run.

The 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship warm-up match is in progress. Bosnia and Herzegovina lost to Montenegro 90-102. In this game, Nurkic contributed 15 points. The problem of slow movement on the court is very prominent. Later, Bosnia and Herzegovina head coach Adis Beciragic expressed his dissatisfaction with the players.

Adis Beciragic said: Nurkic's figure is out of shape and can hardly run. Xavier Castaneda did not participate in training. He only started playing five-on-five two days ago. And all of these situations need to be integrated into a team that has been working with for two years.

continued: We must be more prepared for the game. We missed 18 free throws against Serbia. Montenegro is also a very good team, and I hope we can let the players understand what the problem is.

Nurkic is now 30 years old. His figure is distorted due to his lack of self-discipline and he can't run on the court. If he continues like this, his NBA career will soon end.

In this year's European Championship, Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into Group C, with Spain, Greece, Italy, Georgia and Cyprus. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is too difficult for them to break through the group of death.

Nurkic is the No. 16 in the first round of 2014. He is 2.13 meters tall and plays as a center. He has played for the Nuggets, the Trail Blazers, the Suns and the Hornets for 11 years. He has played in 635 regular season games, averaging 23.9 minutes per game, and has scored 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Before the trading deadline last season, Nurkic was traded to the Hornets by the Suns, and this summer he was traded to the Jazz.
