Nuggets' Michael Porter: Pours in 10 points in Game 6 win
Porter ended Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Porter delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling five points and shooting 2-for-14 from the field in his previous two outings. The 26-year-old forward still appears to be dealing with a sprained left shoulder. He received a lidocaine injection before Game 6 and plans to take another before Game 7, per Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com. The sharpshooter may not be at 100 percent, but the club will likely need him to help space the floor in Sunday's Game 7.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Poor showing in loss
Porter totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Porter has been held to single-digit scoring in four of the five games in this series. After a 21-point performance in Game 3, during which he knocked down five three-pointers, the 26-year-old has missed his last ten attempts from beyond the arc across Games 4 and 5. Porter's shoulder injury is certainly a factor in his recent struggles, but the Nuggets need him to regain form in order to stave off elimination.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Invisible in loss
Porter chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 92-87 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Porter was held to single-digit points for the third time out of four games in this series. He's playing at less than 100 percent due to a shoulder issue, which certainly impacts him. He's hitting 31.4 percent from the field in four games with 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Drills five triples in win
Porter finished Friday's 113-104 overtime win over Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 21 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 42 minutes.
Porter played through his shoulder injury, connecting on five triples en route to 21 points, the most he has scored in the postseason. With Nikola Jokic struggling, Porter was able to take on more responsibility, along with Jamal Murray. Although he is still clearly limited by the injury, there is no indication that Porter will miss time moving forward.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Plays limited minutes Monday
Porter supplied two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Porter was limited to just 24 minutes, likely as a result of his ongoing shoulder issues. It's been a frustrating postseason for Porter, who is playing through an injury that would typically require weeks of rest. There is no indication that he will miss time moving forward, although it is clear he is playing at less than 100 percent right now.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Questionable for Game 4
Porter (shoulder) is listed as questionable Saturday for Game 4 of the Nuggets' first-round playoff matchup with the Clippers.
Porter suffered a Grade 2 joint sprain in his left shoulder late in the Nuggets' Game 2 loss. He was listed as questionable ahead of Game 3, and though he suited up in the Nuggets' 117-83 loss, Porter struggled to make an impact, finishing with seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes. According to Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com, Porter disclosed after Game 3 that he felt about 20-to-30 percent healthy while noting that his injury typically entails a 4-to-5-week recovery, but the forward is hoping to continue playing through the issue so long as he doesn't think he's hurting the team. The Nuggets will likely check in with Porter and see how he's feeling in the hours leading up to Saturday's 6 p.m. ET opening tip before determining his availability for the contest.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Dealing with shoulder injury
Porter said Thursday that he is dealing with a Grade 2 left shoulder sprain but will try to play Saturday in Game 4 of the Nuggets' first-round playoff matchup with the Clippers, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.
Porter mentioned that his injury normally entails about 4-to-5 weeks of recovery time, but he'll attempt to play at less than 100 percent while the Nuggets face a 2-1 series deficit. The 26-year-old also estimated that his shoulder felt about 20-to-30 percent healthy, which could explain why he shot just 2-for-9 from the field in Denver's 117-83 loss in Game 3 on Thursday.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Struggles in Game 3 loss
Porter ended with seven points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes during Thursday's 117-83 loss to the Clippers in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Porter played through a shoulder injury but was clearly bothered, raising some doubt when it comes to his availability for Game 4. Porter suffered the injury during Game 2 and stated prior to the game that he would not be playing if this was the regular season. While the Nuggets certainly need him firing, discussions are sure to be had regarding his short-term value to the team.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Game-time call vs. LAC
Head coach David Adelman said that Porter (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Clippers, will go through his pregame warmup and be a game-time decision, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Porter sustained a left shoulder sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss to the Clippers. However, Adelman said the club is feeling "very positive," and the sharpshooter was able to practice Wednesday. If the 26-year-old forward is unable to play, Peyton Watson and Russell Westbrook are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Available for Game 3
Porter (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Thursday's Game 3 against the Clippers, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.
Porter was tabbed as a true game-time decision leading up to tipoff after suffering a shoulder injury at the end of Game 2, and the team has now given him the green light to suit up after he made it through pregame warmups. The Missouri product bounced back in a big way in Game 2, racking up 15 points and 15 rebounds after being held to three points and four boards in Game 1.
