MPJ is out with what the Nuggets are describing as “Lower Back Pain” which is very ambiguous.
Monte Morris also showed up as probable. pic.twitter.com/uyQf1e0NWP – 7:30 PM

MPJ is undergoing the team’s medical evaluation process and isn’t practicing today, as @Harrison Wind first reported.
Expect the #Nuggets injury report tonight to include the latest update. I’m not expecting one to come via practice today. – 1:36 PM

Michael Porter Jr. won’t practice this morning after leaving last night’s game in the first quarter with low back soreness, I’m told. He’ll undergo further testing today. – 1:21 PM

Mikal Bridges called Kevin Huerter “Red Velvet” as he has red hair.
All part of big-time 2018 class with those two, Luka, Trae, Ayton, MPJ, Shai, Jaren Jackson Jr., Miles Bridges, Sexton, Robert Williams, Shamet and more.
Timeout #Suns. Up 17-15. McGee is back on bench. #NBA75 – 10:28 PM

MPJ reached for his leg after the fall, but is labeled as questionable to return with lower back tightness. Hopefully he is ok. Only an injury could derail his season even further. – 5:51 PM

Whenever Jokic screens, Houston is dropping to keep Denver out of the paint, but it is giving Barton and Morris a bunch of good mid-range looks. Because of that, getting Jokic screening for Porter might be a good look to help get MPJ going. – 5:20 PM

Ryan Blackburn: Michael Malone on MPJ’s status: “Michael could be back in a week. It could be longer than that. When I say foreseeable future, I’m not really sure what that means.” -via Twitter @NBABlackburn / November 8, 2021
Mike Singer: MPJ is out for tomorrow with low back pain. The fact that the #Nuggets didn’t even list him as questionable is significant. The plan, I’m told, is to give him treatment and see how he responds to it. Ultimately, don’t be surprised if he misses a few games. -via Twitter @msinger / November 7, 2021
