Michael Porter Jr. Could Miss Rest Of Season With Nerve Issue In Back
Michael Porter Jr. is dealing with a nerve issue in his back that could force him to miss the entire 21-22 season. Porter could undergo another back surgery to address the issue. Porter has already had two back surgeries.
The Denver Nuggets have so far been vague about the injury and when he might be back. The Nuggets have given Porter a timeline of a week to show improvements before considering other options.
Porter exacerbated a back injury he's had all season after botching a layup attempt on November 6th and hasn't played since.
Porter has since been getting daily treatments to strengthen the area of the injury.
After signing a five-year max contract with $145 million in guaranteed money, Porter struggled to begin the season. Porter attributed the struggles, at least in part, due to his back.
