Three low back surgeries before the age of 24 for Michael Porter Jr. I really feel for him. Staring another long rehab process in the face would be incredibly intimidating especially after already going through it twice. For someone like Porter who lives in the gym, it’s gutting. – 11:38 AM

Sources: Denver forward Michael Porter Jr. is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to back surgery. Tough blow, but with Porter’s five-year extension kicking in next season, he and the Nuggets take big-picture approach to his health. – 11:38 AM

The timeline on MPJ’s recovery is unknown. Back surgery doesn’t necessarily mean missing the rest of the season, but if it was me I would err on the side of caution for sure, give him the whole summer to heal up. Same with Murray. I know he’s chomping at the bit, but wait. – 11:37 AM

I really hope MPJ can get right. He’s a uniquely talented player who loves the game. Missing all or most of 3 of the last 5 seasons really sucks. – 11:36 AM

Vinny Benedetto: If I heard that correctly, Michael Malone just said Michael Porter Jr. is not with the team right now. Sounds like MPJ is currently in Florida, as he tries to figure out what’s going on with his back. -via Twitter @VBenedetto / November 22, 2021
Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is dealing with a nerve issue in his back that could jeopardize his season, league sources told The Denver Post. The Nuggets have been vague about specifics of the injury and when Porter might be expected back. They have given him a timeline of a week to show improvements before considering other treatment options. Another back surgery is a possibility, sources said. -via Denver Post / November 22, 2021
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after Sunday’s loss to Phoenix that Porter was in Florida away from the team. A league source said he was seeking more opinions on how to treat his injury. Since tweaking his back more than two weeks ago, Porter has been getting daily treatment in an effort to strengthen the area of the injury, sources said. -via Denver Post / November 22, 2021
