Injury report

Brooklyn Nets

  • Michael Porter Jr.Out· back Nov 16Report updated ·
    Report note

    Porter (personal) is out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Porter was handed a questionable tag Saturday afternoon and now won't suit up for this matchup in Memphis. This is a huge loss for Brooklyn, as Porter is averaging 21.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game this season. Keon Ellis, Terance Mann and Danny Wolf could all see more minutes with Porter out, while Julius Randle would be in line for a higher usage rate on offense.
