According to Mike Singer of The Denver Post, Denver Nuggets star forward Michael Porter Jr. has a nerve issue in his back that may force him to miss the remainder of the year.
One of the reasons Porter fell to the Nuggets on draft night back in 2018 was because of the back injury he suffered during his lone season at Missouri. Porter missed his entire rookie season with the Nuggets due to surgery, but has since grown into a star player that has fit seamless next to the Nuggets two other stars in Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
