Overview
- Team availability on Saturday listed Michael Porter Jr. as probable for Sunday against Denver after a two-game illness absence.
- The Nets scored just 97.5 points per game and lost by an average of 22 points without Porter, and they are 0-6 this season when he does not play.
- Nic Claxton will miss another game for personal reasons, positioning Day'Ron Sharpe for a second straight start at center.
- Sharpe logged 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 30 minutes in his first start on Friday.
- Haywood Highsmith remains out with a knee issue and Ben Saráf stays on a G League assignment, while Porter’s career-best 25.8 points per game has drawn league interest, according to reports.
