Porter House: How Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr.’s living situation keeps him grounded

There’s a rich juxtaposition that exists inside the bustling Porter house, and it’s one that’s both telling and reassuring.

Out on their own, navigating adult problems, the Porter kids are still keeping family close.

“Yeah, we talk to our parents like every day,” said Cierra Porter, one of Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr.’s elder sisters.

Since the start of this season and due to some serendipitous timing, Michael, 21, has lived with two of his seven siblings in a house near Sloan’s Lake he bought this past offseason. Cierra, 23, and Jontay, 20, all live together in a funny time warp where chores are (unequally) doled out and ambitious careers are being pursued.
