Top Michael Porter Jr. News

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Goes for 22 points in Game 2

    Porter totaled 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 101-99 victory over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Porter sniffed a double-double for the second consecutive game after delivering a 19-point, eight-rebound effort in Game 1 on Saturday, and the forward continues to impact both ends of the court for Denver. Even though he doesn't get the same attention as Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray, Porter is a key piece in the Nuggets' offensive scheme, and he's averaging 16.2 points with 7.3 rebounds per game in April, including regular-season contests.

Since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old has averaged 18.8 points and 7.4 rebounds in 32.1 minutes, complementing impressive shooting splits of 51.9/41.8/90.0. In Denver's last matchup against San Antonio on April 2, Porter recorded 15 points, 16 boards and three assists in 35 minutes.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Probable against San Antonio

    Porter is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to a left quadriceps contusion.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Grabs eight rebounds in victory

    Porter had 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 win over the Timberwolves.

    Porter hasn't missed a game this month despite playing with a knee injury. Although his rebounding totals remain steady, Porter's scoring numbers tend to fluctuate depending on how the flow of the game develops. The Nuggets will need an extra dose of aggressiveness from him as they try to seal up the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Available for Wednesday

    Porter (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, as expected.

    Porter was listed as probable on the initial injury report, so there was never much doubt about his status, but now we have official confirmation that he'll be active. Make sure you've got MPJ in your active lineup.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Probable for Wednesday's matchup

    Porter (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Porter continues to deal with a right knee issue, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again in the second half of a back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 16.0 points and 7.8 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per game.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Available to play

    Porter (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Jack Borman of Locked on Minnesota reports.

    Porter was carrying a probable tag into Tuesday, but he'll give it a go despite not being 100 percent. There's no word of any restrictions heading into tipoff.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Nursing knee issue

    Porter is probable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz due to right knee tendinopathy.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Flirts with double-double in loss

    Porter ended Thursday's 102-100 loss to the Clippers with 14 points (6-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 38 minutes.

    Porter has been suffering through an illness, causing him to lose a step or two over the past two weeks. The last time Porter broke the 20-point barrier was two weeks ago against the Knicks, and even though he's averaged 32.6 minutes per game since his 31-point total, his shot continues to betray him. His success beyond the arc is notably poor, averaging only 36.4 percent from long range over the seven-game span.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Plays through illness for 18 points

    Porter recorded 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Phoenix.

    Porter drew the start despite battling an unspecified illness but was fairly productive in the loss. Porter has plodded along with pedestrian scoring numbers over the past three games due to lower-than-expected shot volume, but his 16 attempts Wednesday is a move in the right direction. Porter can soar well above 20 points with enough opportunity, but he sometimes lacks the necessary aggression to make those opportunities happen on his own.

    Porter (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

    Porter was in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 9, but he will ultimately play through an illness. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual starting role at forward.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Returns to injury report

    Porter is probable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.

    Porter was dealing with an illness before suiting up in Monday's victory over Memphis, but he worked with an abridged workload, delivering 11 points (4-7 FG) and four rebounds in 22 minutes of action. His status will need to be monitored, but he appears firmly on track for Wednesday's contest.

  • Nuggets' Michael Porter: Dealing with illness

    Porter is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to an illness.

    Porter and Aaron Gordon (foot) are late additions to the injury report, joining Nikola Jokic (back/hip) and Jamal Murray (ankle) as questionable. Given almost their entire starting lineup is questionable, it's difficult to project what the Nuggets' rotation will look like until we get clarity on who'll be available.
