Late Wednesday night news broke that Michael Porter Jr. had canceled his scheduled workout in Chicago. The workout was supposed to be a chance for top teams, including the Sacramento Kings, to get a closer look at Porter’s surgically repaired back. Porter would also be examined by a back specialist. Now new details have emerged regarding why the workout was cancelled, and the reasons are rather concerning.
According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN, Porter has a strained hip and muscle spasms bad enough that he can’t get out of bed. Also worth noting is that this injury comes as Porter has just recently resumed basketball activity.
