Impact Porter was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game and participated in morning shootaround, but the medical staff would like to give him an extra day before getting him back into a game. Porter's return from a 20-game absence should result in TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix going back to muted roles. Fantasy managers should expect Porter to be on a minutes limit in his first game back.

Impact Porter looks like he has a chance to suit up for the first time since Jan. 11, but even if he's available, the dynamic point guard will likely operate under some restrictions following a 19-game absence due to a left foot contusion. Before suffering the injury, Porter had scored in double figures in all 39 of his appearances on the season. He enters Tuesday's contest maintaining averages of 19.5 points, 5.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

Upgraded to questionable Porter (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets.
Impact Porter has missed 19 straight games, but he's recently returned to practice and could be back in the starting lineup Tuesday. The fourth-year guard may face some limitations when he's ultimately cleared, but he should still garner a decent chunk of the playmaking opportunities when he's back to full speed.

Out vs. Blazers Porter (foot) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Porter appears to be nearing a return, as he practiced Saturday, but he'll ultimately miss a 19th straight game Sunday. His next chance to play arrives Tuesday against the Nuggets.

Trending in right direction Porter (foot) fully participated in Saturday's practice, but his status for Sunday's game against Portland remains to be determined, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle report...
Impact Porter hasn't played since Jan. 11 due to a left foot contusion, but he's trending in the right direction and could return to action soon. Seeing as the injury was to his lower body, it wouldn't be surprising to see the fourth-year guard have some conditioning hurdles to clear, so he may operate under a minutes limit when he's ultimately cleared for action.

Impact Porter did not practice Wednesday and hasn't played since Jan. 11 with a left foot contusion. He will not return for Friday's tilt and will likely also miss Sunday's game. With Jalen Green (groin) under the same designation as Porter, the backcourt will be left to TyTy Washington, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix.

Misses practice, deemed doubtful Porter (foot) did not practice Wednesday and is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porter hasn't seen any game action since Jan. 11 due to a bruised left foot and is unlikely to return for the Rockets' first game after the All-Star break. With backcourt mate Jalen Green (groin) also doubtful, Josh Christopher, TyTy Washington and Daishen Nix may be forced to take on the brunt of the backcourt minutes.

Still out Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder.
Impact Porter will miss the Rockets' final game before the All-Star break, bringing his total to 17 consecutive absences. Houston will hopefully provide an update on the USC product's status over the next 10 days, but for now, his next chance to suit up will come Feb. 24 against Golden State.

Won't play Monday Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the 76ers.
Impact Porter hasn't played since Jan. 11 due to a left foot contusion. The starting point guard said at the end of January that there's still no timetable for his return, and the team hasn't provided an update since. Following Monday's contest, Houston has only one game left before the All-Star break, so it seems likely Porter will miss that contest as well, which would bring his grand total to 17 straight absences. However, until there's clarification on a potential timeline, we'll continue to handle his status on a game-by-game basis, so his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

Still sidelined Friday Porter (foot) is out for Friday's matchup with the Heat.
Impact Porter's absence streak will extend to 15 games Friday due to a left foot contusion. His next chance to play is Monday's matchup with Philadelphia, although there is no indication of when he will return.

Houston aims to break its three-game slide when the Houston Rockets take on SacramentoFEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Remains out Monday Porter (foot) will remain out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Porter will be sidelined for a 13th straight game while he continues to recover from the bruised left foot he sustained Jan. 11 in Sacramento. The point guard said last Tuesday that he remains in the midst of rehabbing the injury and has thus far been limited to dribbling and light shooting, but neither he nor the Rockets have provided any indication when he might be ready to practice again. With that in mind, Porter doesn't look like a strong bet to suit up in any of the Rockets' three games this week.

No return timetable Porter (foot/toe) said Tuesday that there's still no timetable for his return to game action, Michael Shapiro of SI.com reports.
Impact Porter still isn't practicing or doing any basketball-related drills while rehabbing from a left foot injury and will remain out indefinitely. Fantasy managers can safely keep Porter on the bench until reports of him returning to practice surface or he's upgraded to questionable on the Rockets' official injury report.

Not yet practicing Porter (foot) sat out Monday's practice and is set to remain out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The Rockets haven't provided any concrete updates regarding where exactly Porter stands in his recovery from the bruised left foot that has kept him sidelined for each of the team's last nine games, but his continued absence from practice means he'll be sidelined again as Houston kicks off a three-game week. Considering that the Rockets close the week with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back set versus the Raptors and Thunder, respectively, Porter may be available to play in just one game this week even if he's able to return to practice Tuesday and/or Thursday.

Will miss at least a week Porter (foot) will not play in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves and will be re-evaluated in one week, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Porter has already missed four games with a bruised left foot and is still in a considerable amount of pain, per coach Stephen Silas. Kenyon Martin has started in each of the four games Porter's missed while Jalen Green has shifted to the point guard position, and they should continue to hold those roles until Porter returns. His first opportunity to do so will come Jan. 28 in Detroit.

Officially listed as doubtful Porter (foot) is officially doubtful for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact It was reported earlier Friday that Porter and Jabari Smith (ankle) had both been ruled out for Saturday's game, but it appears the team hasn't officially declared the two starters out officially yet. Kenyon Martin will likely remain in the starting lineup if Porter remains sidelined for a fifth straight game as expected.

Remains out Saturday Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Porter underwent an examination from a foot specialist Friday and didn't practice, and he'll be unavailable for a fifth consecutive matchup. Porter's return timetable will likely depend on whether the foot specialist finds anything particularly concerning regarding his injury.

Out again Wednesday Porter (foot) remains out for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Porter is set for his fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, leaving the Rockets again shorthanded in the backcourt. Kenyon Martin has picked up some starts in Porter's absence and could maintain that starting spot Wednesday, while Porter will shift his sights toward Saturday in Minneapolis for his next chance to return when the Rockets take on the Timberwolves.
