Michael Porter Jr. Ruled Out Vs. Heat On Monday
3 years agoDenver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Porter was forced to leave the team's previous game against the Houston Rockets on Saturday due to lower back soreness. Porter has a long history of back injuries, so the team will most certainly be cautious anytime a back injury flares up for him. It's been a rough start to the year for the 23-year-old. Through nine games, he's averaging just 9.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 35.9% from the floor. Jeff Green and JaMychal Green could both see their minutes increase on Monday with Porter out.
