Appears on injury report Porter is questionable to play Sunday versus Washington due to an illness.

Impact Porter being added to the injury report within three hours of Denver's 6:00p.m. EST tip-off against the Wizards does not bode well for his status.

Struggles mightily in loss Porter registered five points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 124-111 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Porter had trouble finding the bottom of the basket in the loss. His result was a noticeable regression after scoring 40 total points in his previous two games. Porter's production is usually dependent on how Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Aaron Gordon are utilized, but aside from Nikola Jokic, no one on the roster was able to offset a magnificent night of production from Utah.

Scores 18 points Sunday Porter closed Sunday's 131-114 win over Detroit with 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and two assists across 28 minutes.

Impact Porter didn't do much outside of scoring, but that's an area where the Nuggets desperately needed him Sunday due to the fact that Nikola Jokic only scored four points. Porter has had some ups and downs this season when it comes to his scoring figures, but for the most part, he's been a reliable contributor on offense despite holding a secondary role behind Jokic and Jamal Murray. Over his last 10 games, Porter is averaging 15.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest.

Impact Porter bounced back from an eight-point performance Thursday to score 22 for the second time in his last three appearances. He's playing 31.2 minutes per game, which is just shy of his career-high of 31.3 minutes per game from the 2020-21 season. Over his last 10 games, Porter is averaging 14.8 points per game on 48.7 percent shooting (including 43.9 percent from three), 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 assist over 30.6 minutes per game.

Muted scoring in win Porter chipped in eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and four rebounds in 30 minutes during Thursday's 130-127 win over the Warriors.

Impact After lighting up Charlotte for 22 points, Porter scored in single digits for the second time in his last four outings. While Porter's scoring average of 16.1 is down from 17.4 last season, he is still shooting an efficient 39.2 percent on 7.1 three-point attempts per game.
