A GoFundMe set up to pay for a billboard honoring the Portland Trail Blazers starting center Jusuf Nurkic after he suffered a devastating injury Monday exceeded its $8,000 goal within a day and a half, but fans keep on giving.

By Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe was $150 shy of $11,000.

Fundraiser organizer Al Nelson said over email Thursday that several billboard companies had reached out to him and his co-organizer, and they were certain that a “We Love You Nurkic” billboard would go up near “the Rose Garden,” (Old Portland for Moda Center, if you’re new in town) soon.

The organizers still don’t have an exact location, or a final design, or even know the final price for the billboard, but, Nelson said, they have decided on a nonprofit to donate leftover funds to: the Blazers Boys and Girls Club.

The billboard isn’t Portland’s only effort to show the Blazers big man some love. In the days since Nurkic, 24, broke his leg while landing after a rebound in the second overtime of a game against the Brooklyn Nets, fans haven’t stopped coming up with creative ways to support him.

There’s the fan who is soliciting Blazers shirts for a t-shirt quilt to send Nurkic and the fan soliciting clips for an appreciation video. There’s also a huge card, signed by Oregon State Beavers, wishing Nurkic a speedy recovery.

The Trail Blazers also have a portal, for anyone who wants to send Nurkic a message or video through official channels. And, less officially, a picture of a sign that says “Do it for Nurk" in place of the second "i" in the Rip City sculpture outside of the Moda Center is making the rounds on Reddit.

It’s not just Portlanders who are behind the Bosnian Beast. Here’s a who stadium full of soccer fans in Bosnia chanting for him.

Nurkic had successful leg surgery on Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery. Portland, it appears, will be right there with him when he comes back to the game.
