Michael Porter Jr set to return tonight

The Nuggets have been without their scoring forward for a month now, however, things are about to change for the better with him scheduled to return to action on Friday. Porter suffered a heel contusion that’s caused him to miss the Nuggets last 13 games.

Tonight’s game against the Trail Blazers will mark the first time he has played in a game since November 22nd.

Overall, this team will theoretically be better as he is currently averaging 16 points and 6 rebounds – a great start before he got injured.

Porter has been an injury-riddled player that has suffered various injuries throughout his career – college or pro. Most notably concerning the back and knee, he had back surgery last season that forced him to miss majority of the season.

Denver is hoping that Porter can return to his normal self and become less injury-ridden. It should also be pointed out that the Nuggets will be one step closer to being fully healthy for their Christmas Day matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
