Michael Porter returning vs. Warriors?

Injured Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., is holding out hope that he can play in his team’s first-round series against the Golden State Warriors. “Right now, I’m taking it game by game. I’m not ruling anything out,” Porter told ESPN’s Andscape following the Nuggets’ 123-101 loss to the Warriors in Game 1 on Saturday night. “This is a thing I don’t ever want to deal with again, so I’m just taking my time. … I’m playing it game by game. Every morning I wake up and I know I’m feeling good. Every day I’m getting closer.”
