Won't play Friday Porter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Porter didn't practice Thursday and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Heat, but his status for the matchup against Miami hasn't yet been revealed. Thaddeus Young and Justin Champagnie should see increased roles against Brooklyn on Friday.

Still not practicing Porter (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Porter was unavailable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Cleveland due to his hamstring issue, and he's been limited to individual conditioning and skill work recently. Lewenberg notes that the forward is unlikely to return to game action until he's able to fully participate in at least a few full practice sessions, so it seems likely that Porter will be sidelined until sometime next week. Justin Champagnie and Thaddeus Young should see increased run until Porter is able to return to the court.

Looks set to miss start of season Porter (hamstring) took part in light individual work at Sunday's practice but appears on track to miss the start of the regular season, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Impact According to Lewenberg, Chris Boucher (hamstring) also took part in individual work and looked to be doing more on the court than Porter. Considering head coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Boucher would likely remain out for "a couple of weeks," Porter could be facing a similar recovery period. He thus looks on track to miss all three of the Raptors' games during the first week of the regular season.

Return for season-opener in doubt Raptors coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Porter (hamstring) has not practiced in weeks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Porter has been sidelined early in camp by a hamstring issue that head coach Nick Nurse indicated would cost Porter "a little while."

Impact Porter is expected to be sidelined for "a little while", according to Raptors coach Nick Nurse. It is unclear how long he will be out, and if he will miss any regular season action. If Porter is healthy by Oct. 19, he will likely be one of the first forwards off the bench.
