Overview
- Porter is averaging 25.6 points with roughly 50/40/81 shooting splits through 21 games and became the first forward to log four straight 30-point games with five made threes.
- Nets coaches and teammates credit his off-ball gravity and shotmaking for driving the offense, with on/off data showing a steep drop when he sits.
- ClutchPoints’ Erik Slater reports Brooklyn will listen to trade offers ahead of the February deadline after acquiring Porter in the Cam Johnson deal that also brought an unprotected 2032 first-round pick.
- His contract is a key factor in the calculus, with salary figures around $38 million this season and about $40 million next season, per Spotrac.
- All-Star voting is underway and Porter has the numbers for consideration, though the Nets’ 7-18 record has analysts doubting his chances as projections stand.
