Jusuf Nurkic of the Portland Trail Blazers paid the price in enamel Sunday night, having two teeth knocked out battling for the ball with the Toronto Raptors' P.J. Tucker.
Nurkic just passed along the dislodged incisors to the team trainer.

Tucker received a technical on the play, even though Nurkic was called first for a loose ball foul.
