Nuggets coach Michael Malone on expanding Michael Porter Jr.’s role: “I consider it every day”

PHILADELPHIA — With Denver’s offense in a rut, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said “you have to have all options on the table.”

That includes playing celebrated rookie Michael Porter Jr., who hasn’t gotten off the bench in five of their last nine games. Meanwhile, the Nuggets’ offense has spiraled over their last five games (1-4).

“I consider it every day,” Malone said at shootaround Tuesday morning at the Wells Fargo Center. “I really do. We met as a staff yesterday and today, this morning prior to shootaround, when you’re 1-4 and your offense is kind of holding you back, you have to have all options on the table.
