MPJ update: Clearance to practice won’t happen until at least Thursday, Martin says

Mizzou basketball coach Cuonzo Martin said Friday that star freshman Michael Porter Jr. won’t be able to receive clearance to practice until at least next Thursday, when he meets with his doctor in Dallas.

Porter has missed all but two minutes of the season after having back surgery in Dallas in November.

Mizzou plays Saturday at LSU and Tuesday at home against Mississippi. The Tigers play a week from Saturday at Kentucky on Feb. 24.
