Denver Nuggets NBA Champion Sends Instagram Message to Lakers Player
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is entering the third year of his five-year, $179M contract. Owning career averages of 15.7 points and 6.2 rebounds on 49.9 percent from the field and 41.0 percent from deep, Porter has been a perfect fit in Denver's starting lineup. Helping the Nuggets win a championship in 2023, Porter came through in several big moments throughout that postseason where he averaged 13.4 points and 8.1 rebounds. Selected 14th overall in the 2018 NBA draft, Porter did not debut until the 2019-20 season due to a back injury.
