After a knee injury wrecked his sophomore season at Missouri and a re-injury this spring, Porter might not play in another official game until 2020 — whether that’s in the NBA, the G League or somewhere overseas.
Porter, the Southeastern Conference’s co-sixth man of the year as a freshman in 2017-18, explored his draft stock last year but pulled out of the draft shortly after the NBA Combine, even though he later insisted he would have been a first-round pick based on feedback he received.
By the fall Porter recovered from a nagging case of knee tendinitis and appeared poised for a monster sophomore year as Mizzou’s best returning player.
