Michael Porter

Porter (back) said Saturday after the Nuggets' 123-101 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 that he's hopeful to play at some point during the series, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports. "Right now, I'm taking it game by game. I'm not ruling anything out," Porter said. "This is a thing I don't ever want to deal with again, so I'm just taking my time...I'm playing it game by game. Every day I'm getting closer."

Injured Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., is holding out hope that he can play in his team’s first-round series against the Golden State Warriors. “Right now, I’m taking it game by game. I’m not ruling anything out,” Porter told ESPN’s Andscape following the Nuggets’ 123-101 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 on Saturday night. “This is a thing I don’t ever want to deal with again, so I’m just taking my time. … I’m playing it game by game. Every morning I wake up and I know I’m feeling good. Every day I’m getting closer.”

Porter (back) is not expected to play during the postseason, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Porter was on the verge of returning late last month but suffered a setback in the ramp-up process, and it's apparently significant enough to likely keep him out for the postseason. After missing all of his rookie season, Porter has appeared in just 125 regular-season games across the past three years. Fantasy managers looking to draft Porter next season have to keep in mind his injury history, as it was also the reason he fell in the 2018 Draft.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The FBI announced Tuesday that a man charged last summer may have recorded more than 100 minors in the locker and shower rooms at three Chicago area YMCAs. The FBI has launched a push to identify victims, who likely do not even know it happened. Michael Porter was charged in July of last year with multiple counts of  producing, receiving, and possessing child pornography. The Y said at that time that for 14 years, from 2006 until March 2020 when YMCA facilities had to close due to COVID-19, Porter visited three YMCA locations – the...

Porter (back) had a minor setback in his rehab and no decision has been made about his availability for the rest of the season, Mike Singer of the Denver Post reports. This is a tough blow for the Nuggets and Porter, as it seemed like the forward could be returning this week. That now seems highly unlikely, and the looming question is whether he'll be shut down for the remainder of the season. Fantasy managers still clinging onto Porter, or those that picked up him recently, should cut bait.

Porter (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers. Porter is drawing closer to his return from back surgery, but he'll remain out for at least one more game. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Minnesota.

Porter (back) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Hornets. Porter is inching towards the final stages of his recovery from back surgery, but he'll remain out for at least one more game. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pacers.

Porter (back) is listed as out Saturday against the Thunder. Last week, the Nuggets indicated that Porter may have a chance to get back on the floor sometime this week, but it looks like he's still in the final stages of his recovery from back surgery. The sharpshooting wing recently completed a rehab stint in the G League, and his status will likely be handled on a game-to-game basis going forward. Porter has not played since Nov. 6.

Porter (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns. Although he could still return to the court before the end of March, it appears Porter isn't quite there yet and he won't be available when the Nuggets host the Suns on Thursday. If rehab continues to go well with the G League's Grand Rapids Gold, however, Porter's next opportunity to return from the long absence could come Saturday against the Thunder.

Nuggets: 41-28 Sixers games with James Harden: 8. Nuggets games with either MPJ or Jamal Murray: 9 – 10:30 PM. It sounds like making excuses, but games like these are where I remember Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are out. They wouldn’t improve some of Denver’s problems, but it would give Denver more options in how they want to play these games.

Porter (back) could return as soon as next week, Ryan Blackburn of Denver Stiffs reports. This news tracks with the timetable that was given in late February, but the fact that it's being reiterated is a good sign that things are going well in Porter's G League rehab stint. Once Porter returns, he'll presumably be on a conservative minutes limit in his first several games back, if not longer. That said, Denver will want to ramp him up as much as possible heading into the playoffs.

The Nuggets have scrapped plans to send Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray to Grand Rapids for the time-being, two league sources told The Denver Post on Thursday. Both Porter and Murray were set to fly to Grand Rapids and practice with the Gold on Friday, but logistical concerns, in addition to the fact that they’d only be there for one practice, altered the plan, sources said. Neither player has had any kind of setback, and there was also a sense that some of the work they would’ve done in Grand Rapids could get done in Denver.

There is a strong sense within the Denver Nuggets locker room that both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. could be back in time for the playoffs, if not sooner, sources told The Athletic. Porter is on track to return in mid to late March, a source said. Murray has been out since tearing his left ACL last April. The 25-year-old averaged a career-high 21.2 points and a career-best 40.8 3-point shooting percentage last season.

The Nuggets are planning to send Porter (back) to the G League's Grand Rapids Gold to scrimmage later this week, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports. Singer adds that the Nuggets rarely go through full practices at this point in the season, so the stint in the G League will give Porter a better opportunity to get his legs under him before making an eventual return to game action. The 23-year-old forward was able to go through 1-on-1 drills during practice Tuesday, and Sam Amick of the Athletic reports that Denver is anticipating his return to the lineup sometime between mid-to-late March.

Porter is expected to make his return to the Denver lineup in mid-to-late March, a source familiar with the forward's recovery from late-November lumbar spine surgery tells Sam Amick of The Athletic. Amick's report provides a more precise follow-up target timeline for Porter's return to game action after Adrian Wojnarowski...
