Questionable Wednesday Porter (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Charlotte.

Out again Monday Porter (foot) will not play in Monday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Porter will miss a third straight contest due to a bruised left foot that he suffered Jan. 11. However, Jalen Green and Jae'Sean Tate will be available Monday after serving their one-game suspensions Sunday. The aforementioned duo should be in line for larger workloads, while Daishen Nix and TyTy Washington could see more minutes as well. Porter's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Charlotte.

Officially out Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers.
Impact Porter was initially listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup, so as expected, he'll miss a second straight game due to a foot injury he suffered during Wednesday's loss to Sacramento. The Rockets will also be without Jae'Sean Tate and Jalen Green, who are serving one-game suspensions, so Houston's backcourt will be extremely depleted against Los Angeles. TyTy Washington, Garrison Mathews and Daishen Nix figure to be the primary beneficiaries.

Doubtful to play Sunday Porter (foot) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Clippers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The Rockets are not ready to rule Porter out yet, but the feeling is that he has a stronger chance of playing Monday against the Lakers in the second half of a back-to-back set. If he can't go Sunday, then Jae'Sean Tate or TyTy Washington might be in line to play significant backcourt minutes.

Impact Porter was seen hobbling on his right leg and later grabbed his ankle on the bench, so he was taken to the locker room to undergo further tests. Jae'Sean Tate should see more minutes and Jalen Green should operate as the main ballhandler while Porter is out, and his status is now uncertain for the rest of the contest.

Despite a few ups and downs thus far this season, Porter has been able to carve out what is looking like his best fantasy season to date. The points and assists often grab all the attention but it has been his work on the defensive end that has surprised many. He is currently averaging 1.5 steals per game across the season, taking that up a notch with 2.3 steals per game over the past two weeks.
