Won't play Sunday Porter (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Porter was labeled as questionable a few hours before Sunday's tipoff, and he'll be unable to take the court against Oklahoma City while tending to a personal matter. His next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Pelicans, while Bruce Brown, Christian Braun and Davon Reed could see increased run Sunday.

Questionable Sunday Porter is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to personal reasons.

Impact Porter wasn't on the Nuggets' initial injury report Sunday, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up against Oklahoma City. If he's sidelined, Bruce Brown, Christian Braun and Davon Reed are candidates to see increased playing time.

Murray gets 1st career triple-double, Nuggets rout Pacers

Jamal Murray got his first career triple-double and the Denver Nuggets extended their winning streak to nine games by beating the Indiana Pacers 134-111 without Nikola Jokic

Does little in win Porter notched four points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Denver is one piece away from running away with the Western Conference, and many believe that Porter is the missing link. Unfortunately, Porter still struggles with consistency problems that have plagued him throughout his tenure in Denver. Porter's 13-game absence put the brakes on an encouraging start to the season, and although his results since returning have also shown promise, he'll occasionally put up a clunker like he did Wednesday night. While there is sometimes a correlation between Porter and Aaron Gordon, it wasn't the case in Wednesday's win as Gordon also had trouble generating offensive numbers.

NBA odds: Nikola Jokić new favorite to win MVP; Best bets to make now

FOX Sports NBA writer Ric Bucher gives his three best bets and a long shot to win this season's MVP award.

JANUARY 19, 2023

Hot shooting in easy win Tuesday Porter posted 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and four rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 122-113 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Porter had things going on the offensive end Tuesday, knocking down four triples for the second game in a row. However, he added little outside of the scoring column, which puts a cap on his overall fantasy value. At this point, Porter is a player whose floor almost matches his ceiling. He sits just outside the top 80 in per-game value in nine-category leagues for the season, a rank he should be able to maintain without much trouble moving forward.

Bounces back with 22 points Porter had 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 115-103 win over the Clippers.

Impact Porter struggled to put up meaningful scoring totals over the past two weeks, but he snapped the drought with a much better result in Friday's win. Granted, there was a lot of production to absorb in Nikola Jokic's (wrist) absence, and Porter was heavily involved in the effort with 17 shot attempts, his second-highest shot total of the season.

Scores empty 18 points in loss Porter accumulated 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Porter managed 18 points in the loss but unfortunately, struggled elsewhere. Despite being a top-75 player thus far, it feels as though Porter has yet to hit his stride. He is currently averaging 16.7 points per game, including 2.8 three-pointers. While that is nice enough, managers would love to see him adding some tangible peripheral contributions to his nightly boxscore.

Nuggets take on the Kings, aim for 6th straight win

Denver is looking to build upon its five-game win streak with a victory over Sacramento

Drops 30-piece in victory Porter logged 30 points (12-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 victory over the Kings.

Impact Porter bounced back after a poor performance on Christmas day, dropping at least 30 points for just the second time this season. After recently returning from a lengthy injury layoff, Porter had struggled to find his offensive rhythm prior to Tuesday. The Nuggets need him to take on a larger piece of the offensive pie, which he will attempt to do moving forward.

Remains on minutes restriction Porter will remain on a minutes restriction during Sunday's Christmas Day matchup against Phoenix, independent NBA writer T.J. McBride reports.

Impact Porter returned to the court Friday against the Trail Blazers and logged 18 points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes. While coach Michael Malone didn't specify how much Porter would play Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him with a workload similar to the one he had against Portland.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 18 points Porter supplied 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Friday's 120-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Porter was quiet in the first half, scoring seven points on 3-of-7 shooting while failing to post any assists or rebounds. The Nuggets forward came out strong to begin the second half with 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field in the third quarter before missing his only shot attempt in the fourth. Porter finished third on the team with 18 points in the contest.

Starting but on minutes restriction Porter (heel) will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, but he'll be under a minutes restriction, independent NBA reporter T.J. McBride reports.

Impact As expected, Porter will return to action for the first time since Nov. 22, but he'll be limited while he works his way back to full strength. Bruce Brown has shifted to a reserve in Porter's absence, but the versatile forward should still see a sizable role off the bench. Before his absence, Porter averaged 16.4 points in 29.1 minutes across his first 16 appearances this season.

Will return Friday Porter (heel) indicated Thursday that he will retake the floor for Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports. He is officially questionable.

Impact Porter rejoined the team at practice Thursday, seemingly signaling he could retake the floor Friday. He confirmed as such following the session. Per Mike Singer of The Denver Post, Head coach Michael Malone suggested that Porter is the team's starting small forward moving forward but also granted that he will likely return on a minutes restriction. With that information all in hand, Porter appears set for a limited starting role Friday, likely bumping Bruce Brown to the bench.
