• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Cleared to play Tuesday

  7D ago •

  Porter (back) is active and starting Tuesday against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports. The 22-year-old was considered probable with tightness in his lower back, so it's not much of a surprise to see he's available Tuesday. Porter is averaging 11.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 28.6 minutes across his past nine starts.

• Nuggets' Michael Porter: Probable for Tuesday

  7D ago •

  Porter (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against Portland, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports. Porter appears likely to play Tuesday despite some lower back tightness that is nagging him. The 22-year-old forward was limited to just 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, which perhaps could be partially attributed to the back issue. Porter has been inconsistent over the last five games, averaging 10.8 points on 37.7 percent shooting, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 triples per game.
