The MPJ setback news is not surprising. Anticipation was ramping up and then took a step back. That said – rehab is not a straight line, and @Michael Singer reports it’s not serious. Assuming it’s just the stated overcompensation it doesn’t bode ill at all for next year. This one tho… – 10:32 PM

News: #Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. suffered a minor setback amid his rehab from back surgery, sources told @denverpost. No decision has been made yet on whether to shut him down for the season or not.

Nuggets will be without JaMychal Green for tonight’s game in Charlotte in addition to Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar.
Sounds like Facundo Campazzo will be available after missing a game with a non-Covid illness. – 5:38 PM

Harrison Wind: Monte Morris on Jamal Murray: “He’s been looking magnificent in his workouts.” -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / March 23, 2022
But on Friday night, when asked about Murray practicing, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, “I’ve cautioned like probably three different times this year for everybody to calm down,” and “as of right now, there is no immediate return on the horizon for either one of those players.” Either one. Yes, the Nuggets actually have two players on max contracts who have missed most or all of this season with injuries. The other is Michael Porter Jr., who underwent spine surgery Dec. 1. Of the two, Porter is considered more likely to return this season, numerous Nuggets sources said, but in the same breath they warn that there is a chance neither is back for the playoffs. -via The Athletic / March 21, 2022
In Murray’s case, there probably already isn’t enough time for him to properly prepare. The Nuggets say a torn ACL is a year-long injury, and it takes months after that for a player to return to top form. The Warriors brought Klay Thompson back (albeit after two years away, caused by two devastating injuries) in January. He is still working his way back to form. The Heat eased Victor Oladipo back from quad surgery earlier this month, and is slowly working him into the rotation. -via The Athletic / March 21, 2022
