Early career
In his early childhood, Nuke was a tennis player, however he felt his career was stuck because he rarely won any tennis competitions. However, his passion for sports rose again after he met basketball. The meeting was unique. At that time, Nuke, who was still in junior high school, was cycling around the Joyokusumo GOR in Pati, Central Java. There were nine people there playing basketball. Because there was one less, Nuke was finally invited to play together.{{cite web|title=Ketemu Mantan: Perjalanan Tak Sengaja Nuke Tri Saputra di Basket Profesional|url=https://www.dbl.id/r/4989/ketemu-mantan-perjalanan-tak-sengaja-nuke-tri-saputra-di-basket-profesional|website=dbl.id|access-date=June 16, 2024 |date=April 26, 2020}}{{cite web|title=Nuke Tri Saputra Memastikan Winning-Streak Kesatria Tak Putus|url= https://iblindonesia.com/news/nuke-tri-saputra-memastikan-winning-streak-kesatria-tak-putus|website= iblindonesia|access-date=June 16, 2024 |date=May 29, 2024}}{{cite web|title=Nuke Tri Saputra Mengantar Kesatria Bengawan Solo Meraih Kemenangan Ke-16
