Michael Porter Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Grabs 10 boards in win Porter recorded eight points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Monday's 113-104 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Porter failed to step up offensively with Jamal Murray (hamstring), Nikola Jokic (back) and Aaron Gordon (heel) sidelined, but the sharpshooter made his presence felt by grabbing double-digit rebounds for the sixth time this season. The poor shooting night can likely be chalked up as an outlier, as it was just the fourth time this season he failed to score in double figures. On the season, Porter is averaging 16.9 points and 7.8 rebounds while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from deep.

Hits for 25 in loss Porter had 25 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 loss to the Magic.

Impact With Jamal Murray (hamstring) still sidelined, Porter stepped up as the Nuggets' second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic, producing his third game this season with 25 or more points while tying his season high in made three-pointers. The 25-year-old wing is averaging 19.0 points, 7.8 boards and 3.3 threes in the eight games Murray has missed so far, numbers slightly above his season averages.

Another double-double Porter contributed 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and 11 rebounds across 33 minutes during Friday's 115-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Porter has three double-doubles on the season and two of those have come across his last three appearances, so he's trending in the right direction. Tasked with an uptick in usage rate while Jamal Murray (hamstring) is out, the forward has stepped his game up and is averaging 18.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks per game across his last five outings.

Cools off against Clippers Porter ended with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 111-108 win over the Clippers.

Impact Porter finally cooled off Tuesday, but he's been very solid in recent games. In seven November games so far, Porter is averaging 18.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers. He'll continue to see more usage with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined.

Records double-double in loss Porter contributed 25 points (11-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Porter topped 20 points for the fourth time in the last five matchups Sunday, and he hauled in double-digit rebounds for just his second double-double of the 2023-24 campaign. He got off to a relatively slow start to the season with single-digit scoring totals in three of his first five outings but has turned things around since then, averaging 23.0 points and 8.4 rebounds in 33.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Carves up Chicago Porter registered 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 win over the Bulls.

Impact Porter posted a season-high 27 points in smooth fashion, as Chicago had no comparable size matchup for Porter on the perimeter or rim protection to withstand his two-man game with Nikola Jokic. Jamal Murray exited Saturday's game with a hamstring injury, and Porter would likely be tasked with a bump in usage if Murray is forced to miss time -- although overall synergy of the Denver offense would decrease.

Drops 24 on Mavs Porter provided 24 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-114 win over Dallas.

Impact The 24 points were a season high for Porter as he looks to shake out of a bit of an early scoring slump, and his 43.7 percent shooting from the field is a full five points lower than last season. To his credit, the 25-year-old is finding other ways to contribute -- he's grabbed at least nine boards in four of six contests, and his 8.2 rebounds per game average would be a career high, topping the 7.3 he pulled in 2020-21.

Little involvement in win Porter closed with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Jazz.

Impact Porter picked up three fouls in his 19 minutes of action and never found offensive rhythm. Denver shot just 42.9 percent as a team, so there will be better days ahead for both parties. A matchup against Minnesota on Wednesday is up next.

Strong from deep in 20-point outing Porter recorded 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 128-95 win over Oklahoma City.

Will play Tuesday Coach Michael Malone said Porter (ankle) will play in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Porter didn't make any appearances during preseason action, but that appears to have been precautionary. It's still possible the sharpshooter is limited versus Los Angeles after a lengthy absence, but further clarity on Porter's workload should surface closer to Opening Night.

Impact Porter has been unable to make any appearances in the preseason. Previous reports have indicated that he'll be ready for Opening Night on Oct. 24 against the Lakers, but this is worth monitoring closely over the weekend.
