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.”

Gary Washburn: Mazzulla said the #Celtics purposely went to switching where Porzingis guarded Murray in OT. He yielded three consecutive Murray jumpers. “It was good reps for us. We went to that on purpose. It was an opportunity to practice stuff that we’re gonna need to get to. I thought it was a good opportunity to get reps on that and get it on film.”
“Z(ion) has been amazing,” Green said. “Night in and night out, he is putting the team on his shoulders, and he’s carrying us. He’s guarding. He’s rebounding. He’s making simple plays to his teammates. The guys are rallying around him. Collectively, it was a big-time effort from all of our guys who stepped on the floor. The game-plan discipline was at a high level.”

Ime Udoka on Jalen Green's emergence without Alperen Sengun: 'I think they can complement each other very well'
Mitty: Ime Udoka on why Alperen Sengun being out is not the reason for Jalen Green’s resurgence: “We wanted to really increase the pace and get the threes up and all those things don’t have anything to do with Alpi – When Jalen was struggling earlier in the year he had the same quality looks and Jalen started to read the game better – I think they can complement each other very well”.
John Karalis: Mazzulla on KP/Murray switch: “Those are good reps for us. We went to that on purpose. We had an opportunity to practice stuff that we’re gonna need to get to and we haven’t done a lot of 1-5 switching with KP on the floor. So I thought that was a good opportunity for us.”
Kevin Chouinard: Bogdan Bogdanovic said that Dejounte Murray is hyper-competitive, even when he’s injured. “Whenever I see that he is questionable (in the injury report), I’m like, ‘Nahhh, he’s good.'”
