Dealing with sore foot Porter departed Wednesday night's Game 5 loss to the Grizzlies with a sore right foot.

Impact Porter exited after playing 12 minutes and failing to record a single statistic outside of going 0-of-3 from beyond the arc and committing a pair of fouls. By the time the veteran left the game, it was clear Golden State was headed for a loss, so it's difficult to assess whether or not he may have been able to return had the score been closer. Either way, consider Porter day-to-day and questionable for Friday's Game 6.

Set to play in Game 4 Porter (hand) will be available for Monday's Game 4 against the Grizzlies, per head coach Steve Kerr, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact While Porter is listed as probable on the official injury report, Kerr told reporters Monday that the wing is "fine" after sustaining a minor bruise to his right hand. Porter is coming off of his best offensive game of the postseason in Saturday's Game 3, which he finished with 13 points, four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench.

Probable for Game 4 Porter is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Grizzlies due to a right hand contusion.

Impact Porter averaged 6.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 22.7 minutes per game over his first three appearances in the second round, but he apparently sustained a hand injury during Saturday's Game 3. However, it appears likely that he'll be able to play through the issue Monday.

Elite rebounding continues Porter had 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Porter continues to be a major factor on the glass. Sunday marked his third double-double in his last four games -- bringing his total for the season to five. Although Gary Payton and Jordan Poole may be filling the direct void of Stephen Curry's (foot) absence, Porter has been a player for fantasy managers to monitor. Notably, he is expected to rest Monday.

Won't play Wednesday Porter (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday' matchup against the Heat, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter finished Monday's loss to the Magic with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes. The veteran will rest during the second half of the Warriors' back-to-back set and should be available when Golden State returns to action Friday in Atlanta. The Warriors are resting a handful of their regulars and remain without Stephen Curry (foot), so their depth pieces will likely get extended run against Miami.

Impact Porter has combined for 30 points and 31 rebounds over the past two games -- a shocking uptick in production from the oft-injured forward. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this development, especially with Draymond Green not playing particularly well since returning from a back injury.
