Monday was tough for Rip City. Like, really tough. Amid battling the Brooklyn Nets and ultimately securing a playoff berth, the Portland Trail Blazers lost their starting center Jusuf Nurkic to a devastating leg fracture. But fans of the club haven’t slunk away to bitterly dwell alone. Instead, they’ve already begun showing support to their injured big man – in the form of a GoFundMe to raise money for a “We Love You Nurkic” billboard in the city.
The campaign was started by an Al Nelson. He set the goal at $8,000.
