Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) is available for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Clippers. He continues to battle a left shoulder strain. Fortunately, the 26-year-old hasn't missed a game during the series. Porter has struggled, hitting the double-digit scoring mark just once in his last three games. But with
Russell Westbrook (foot) out, Porter could benefit on the scoring end.

Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. After suffering a left shoulder sprain in Game 2 of the series on Monday night, Porter Jr. was able to participate in Wednesday's practice session, and Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman has expressed optimism regarding Porter Jr.'s availability for Thursday's game. However, the questionable designation leaves his status uncertain for Game 3.
Peyton Watson and
Russell Westbrook are candidates to start instead of Porter Jr., while
Jalen Pickett may also assume a more significant role in the rotation.

Denver Nuggets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) participated in a light practice on Wednesday and looks to be on track to play in Thursday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Porter Jr. injured his left shoulder in Game 2. Following practice, Nuggets interim head coach David Adelman told reporters that he is "very optimistic" that Porter Jr. will be available for Thursday's contest. The Nuggets saw Porter Jr. contribute only three points in Saturday's series opener, but he did much better on Monday night, finishing with a 15-point, 15-rebound double-double. Denver will likely turn to
Peyton Watson if Porter Jr. does not feel ready to play on Thursday.

Michael Porter Jr. (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was initially uncertain for the game due to a low back strain, but Denver has upgraded Porter Jr.'s status from questionable to available. Porter Jr. has struggled with his shooting this month, finishing a disappointing 1-for-10 from beyond the arc on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. On Wednesday, he has an opportunity to get back on track against a Bucks team missing
Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) and
Damian Lillard (calf).
