Nuggets' Michael Porter: Out indefinitely

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said Monday that Porter (back) is expected to remain out for the "foreseeable future," Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

The team has yet to provide a concrete timetable for Porter's return, but this latest update indicates he's going to be sidelined for an extended period. Will Barton and Aaron Gordon are likely to step into higher-usage roles while Porter is sidelined, and PJ Dozier and Jeff Green could benefit from a playing-time standpoint.
