Following Thursday’s Nuggets practice, Porter was asked about his status for tomorrow’s Northwest Division matchup. He promptly answered that he will be playing. That came around 10 minutes after Michael Malone addressed the media and said Porter’s status will be determined after Friday morning’s shootaround but that he was trending in the right direction.

Michael Malone and the Nuggets’ front office have been meeting about Denver’s defense.
A key takeaway from those chats? The Nuggets defend best when there’s more length on the floor.
How Michael Porter Jr., who plans to return Friday, factors into that:

Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray are both questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. Portland. Jeff Green’s probable with low back pain.
Again, Porter said this morning he would play (don’t think the decision is his alone). If he plays, there will be a minutes restriction. – 5:08 PM

Michael Porter Jr. today on his heel strain: “For me, if it’s not related to my back, I’m not too worried about it…this is something that’s unrelated to my back.” – 4:56 PM

I wasn’t at practice today, but based on reports, I get the sense that Denver will have a (relatively) healthy roster for the first time since before Thanksgiving.
Murray needed an off day on Tuesday. I expect him to be way better tomorrow. MPJ? No idea but excited to see him. – 4:55 PM

MPJ, on his foot injury: “This was something unrelated to my back.”
Said routine basketball injury. Said as long as it’s not back related, he’s not worried. – 3:39 PM

Malone: MPJ is our starting small forward.
Said when he does return, he’ll likely be on a minute’s restriction.
Said decent chance he returns tomorrow or Sunday on Christmas. – 3:25 PM

Sounds like Michael Porter Jr. will be listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against Portland. Jamal Murray more questionable. Both will be reevaluated after shootaround, Michael Malone says. – 3:25 PM

Malone said the Nuggets did not do anything live today at practice, but Michael Porter Jr. & Jamal Murray were full participants.
Porter will remain doubtful until they see how he feels at shootaround tomorrow. Murray will be questionable. – 3:23 PM
