Not on injury report Porter (illness) isn't on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact Porter missed the Rockets' final two games prior to the All-Star break due to an illness, but he'll be back in action once the team resumes play. He's averaged 15.9 points, 6.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

Ruled out Thursday Porter (illness) won't play in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact As expected, Porter will miss a second straight game due to an illness, so he'll look to get healthy over the All-Star break before returning for the second half of the season. In his absence, Dennis Schroder and Jalen Green figure to handle most of the point guard duties against the Clippers.

Doubtful Thursday Porter (illness) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Porter sat out Wednesday's game against the Suns due to an illness, and it appears as though he'll be forced to miss a second straight game ahead of the All-Star break. If he's ultimately held out, Dennis Schroder and Jalen Green should see additional run.

Sitting out Wednesday Porter (illness) is unavailable for Wednesday's game at Phoenix, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Porter will miss the front half of the back-to-back set Wednesday due to an illness, as will Christian Wood. Josh Christopher and newcomer Dennis Schroder (Achilles), if available, should see more time in the backcourt for Houston. Porter's availability for Thursday's matchup with the Clippers is also up in the air.

Questionable against Suns Porter is questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.

Impact Porter was held to just eight points during Monday's loss to the Jazz and is dealing with an illness ahead of Wednesday's matchup. If he's unavailable, Dennis Schroder (Achilles), Jalen Green and Josh Christopher could see additional run.

Rains in six threes Porter closed with 30 points (11-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 139-120 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Porter was part of another lowlight Thursday, as he seemingly accidentally bounced the ball into Toronto's hoop, giving the Raptors two points. Other than that, Porter tacked on 30 points of his own -- fueled by six threes. Porter shot 41.2 percent from deep over 12 games in January and is shooting a career-best 36.8 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Scores season-high 27 points Porter accumulated 27 points (9-16 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 loss to New Orleans.

Impact After an eight-point performance on 3-of-10 shooting Sunday against the Pelicans, Porter had a bounceback performance against the team, setting a season high of 27 points. It's a bit surprising that Porter previously hadn't scored more than 23 points this season given that he's one of the primary offensive engines for the team and posted a 50-point game last season. Porter will look to continue the strong play against the Raptors on Thursday.

Starting Sunday Porter (illness) will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

Impact Porter is battling a non-COVID illness, but he'll play through the ailment and start at his usual guard spot alongside Jalen Green. The illness forced Porter to exit Friday's loss to the Spurs after just 11 minutes of action.

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with illness Porter (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.

Impact Porter was limited to 11 minutes Friday against the Spurs due to the illness, and his availability for Sunday's contest remains in question. Eric Gordon (heel) is also questionable, so Armoni Brooks, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews could have heavily increased workloads if both Porter and Gordon are unavailable.

Off injury report Porter (illness) is not on the injury report for Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Impact Porter missed the second half of Friday's loss to the Spurs due to an illness but is fine for Sunday. Before that, he had scored in double digits in eight straight games, with averages of 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals.

Impact Porter did not come out with the team to start the second half, and we now know the reason is due to an illness. The Rockets next play Sunday versus the Pelicans, so he will have an off-day to recover.
