What has not changed, at least for now, is Porter’s contract status with the Rockets. He is entering the fourth and final year of his rookie contract and is eligible for an extension this summer. Porter said he thought about a potential extension earlier in the season but felt it negatively affected his play. “At the beginning of the season, I kind of put too much pressure on myself thinking about that type of thing,” he said. “Once I eased my mind off of it, I started to play better. So I don’t really want to put no mind to it. I love Houston, and they love me, so I’m sure that I’ll be here for a minute.”
