If there’s anything good that’s come from Jusuf Nurkic’s compound fracture, it’s all the warm fuzzy feelings that have emerged between him and Rip City fans. The Portland Trail Blazers lost their big man for the rest of the year on Monday in a double overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Although the injury devastated the team and fans alike, Blazers’ fans immediately found ways to show their support for the recovering center. On Friday, the Bosnian Beast took to Twitter to thank everyone for all of the kind words and gestures.
In his message, he acknowledged everyone who had sent their well wishes and prayers:
THANK YOU to everyone who has reached out to me and sent their well wishes and prayers to me after my injury.
