Heads to locker room Sunday Porter suffered an apparent right ankle injury and headed to the bench during Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Porter was seen hobbling on his right leg and later grabbed his ankle on the bench, so he was taken to the locker room to undergo further tests. Jae'Sean Tate should see more minutes and Jalen Green should operate as the main ballhandler while Porter is out, and his status is now uncertain for the rest of the contest.

Impact Porter has surpassed the 20-point mark in four of Houston's last five contests, and he continues to operate as one of Houston's most dynamic offensive weapons next to the dynamic duo of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. He's averaging 24.6 points, 7.8 assists and 6.4 rebounds per game over that five-game stretch.

Impact Porter pulverized his previous season-high mark and reached the 30-point plateau for the second time in his last three contests.

Pops for season-high 31 points Porter chipped in 31 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Magic.

Impact Porter put together his best performance of the season despite the loss, headlined by a season-high 31 points including five triples. Despite a few ups and downs thus far this season, Porter has been able to carve out what is looking like his best fantasy season to date. The points and assists often grab all the attention but it has been his work on the defensive end that has surprised many. He is currently averaging 1.5 steals per game across the season, taking that up a notch with 2.3 steals per game over the past two weeks.

Impact Porter failed to reach the 20-point mark in three straight games but managed to accomplish the feat Thursday, though his efforts were not enough to carry the Rockets to victory. The positives didn't end there for the young guard, who also recorded a season-high mark in steals. Porter is averaging 18.3 points, 4.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across seven December contests.

Mediocre effort Thursday Porter ended Thursday's 118-109 loss to San Antonio with 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Porter played through a knee injury, posting an unflattering fantasy line. Both he and Jalen Green struggled to hit anything on the offensive end, shooting a combined 10-of-33 from the field. After a strong start to the season, Porter has settled into being more like the player we expected. His counting stats remain strong, while his percentages and high turnovers are a constant battle. He is clearly a must-roster player, although his flaws do limit his overall appeal.

Active Thursday Porter (knee) will play in Thursday's game against the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Porter was slated to be a game-time decision due to right knee soreness but will give it a go Thursday. He should retain his starting point guard role and should be a full go. Porter is in the midst of a breakout campaign, averaging 19.0 points, 5.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds. Fantasy managers should confidently fire him up in all formats Thursday.

Questionable Thursday Porter is questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Spurs due to right knee soreness, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Porter is questionable to miss just his second game of the season Thursday. Daishen Nix, Josh Christopher and Garrison Mathews are all candidates to receive extended minutes if he's unable to play. Porter's next chance to play will be Sunday's game against the Bucks if he's ruled out Thursday.
