Mark Kiszla: End of an era? Nuggets need to trade Jamal Murray or Michael Porter Jr. after being bounced from playoffs Nuggets must find GM to overhaul roster after been blown out of NBA playoffs by OKC in a Game 7 that felt like end of an era.
Wraps up rough postseason Porter totaled six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference...
Impact It concludes a rough postseason for Porter, who shot just 39.2 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from downtown. Additionally, the veteran sharpshooter averaged just 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes across 14 playoff games. Despite his postseason struggles, Porter will likely still be worth targeting for points and three-pointers in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts for 2025-26.

Impact Porter delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling five points and shooting 2-for-14 from the field in his last two outings. The 26-year-old forward still appears to be dealing with a sprained left shoulder. He received a lidocaine injection before Game 6 and plans to take another before Game 7, per Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com. The sharpshooter may not be at 100 percent, but the club will likely need him to help space the floor in Sunday's win-or-go-home Game 7.

Poor showing in loss Porter totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Con...
Impact Porter has been held to single-digit scoring in four of the five games in this series. After a 21-point performance in Game 3, during which he knocked down five three-pointers, the 26-year-old has missed his last ten attempts from beyond the arc across Games 4 and 5. Porter's shoulder injury is certainly a factor in his recent struggles, but the Nuggets need him to regain form in order to stave off elimination.

Impact Porter was held to single-digit points for the third time out of four games in this series. He's playing at less than 100 percent due to a shoulder issue and it's certainly impacting him. Through four games, he's hitting 31.4 percent from the field with 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers.

Impact Porter played through his shoulder injury, connecting on five triples en route to 21 points, the most he has scored in the postseason. With Nikola Jokic struggling, Porter was able to take on more responsibility, along with Jamal Murray. Although he is still clearly limited by the injury, there is no indication Porter will miss time moving forward.

Impact Porter was limited to just 24 minutes, likely as a result of his ongoing shoulder issues.
