Michael Porter Jr. News
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. has a good chance at playing in the upcoming postseason, according to head coach Mike Malone. "I look forward to seeing how hell handle [postseason minutes] with this being his first time going through it," said Malone. His season has been up and down, but it's going to be tough for Porter to earn significant playing time. The Nuggets are covered in terms of depth, so Porter carving out a ton of minutes is highly unlikely. It'll be nice to see him get some playing time in the playoffs, but his fantasy value won't change much.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. said that the NBA being on hiatus has given him enough time to heal his ankle issue properly. He suffered a right ankle injury on January 31 and was playing through the issue after the All-Star break. Porter mentioned that his ankle was really sore, but he's using this extra time off to rest it. It was tough for him to play through the pain, but it sounds like he's ready to go once the NBA resumes play.
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He practiced with the team on Wednesday and it appears he's ready to return to action. Will Barton (knee) might play on Friday, so that would hurt Porter's value going forward. However, Porter is expected to have a significant role with the team, so he should remain owned in most formats.
