Six of Porter's assists came in the first quarter -- matching his previous career high -- and his seventh came with over seven minutes left in the second period. The 27-year-old paced Brooklyn in points, rebounds and assists. Porter notched his third double-double of the campaign, and his 23 field goal attempts tied a season high. In 11 games this season, Porter is averaging 23.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 46/35/84 shooting splits.

Rotowire
Porter posted 21 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during the Nets' 119-109 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.
It was an inefficient outing for Porter, but he ended up tying Nic Claxton for the team high in points thanks to the former's 10 made free throws. Porter has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games, and he has averaged 24.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 steals over 32.0 minutes per game on 42.4 percent shooting during that span.

Nets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in return
Rotowire
Porter racked up 32 points (10-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and five turnovers across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-103 win over the Pacers.
While Porter had a rough game in the season-opener, he's been on fire ever since, and has now double-doubled in back-to-back games. He should light it up in Brooklyn this season, but his late-season availability remains a concern with the Nets opening the year with a record of 1-7.

Nets' Michael Porter: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Porter (personal) isn't listed on Brooklyn's injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Porter was a late scratch ahead of Monday's home loss to Minnesota due to personal reasons, but the sharpshooter will be back in action Wednesday. He's averaged 20.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.8 minutes per game over his first six appearances as a Net. However, he's scored 30-plus points twice and fewer than 20 points four times.

Nets' Michael Porter: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Porter (personal) will not suit up for Monday's matchup with Minnesota, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
It's unclear exactly what Porter is dealing with at the moment, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. With Porter on the inactive list Monday night, Cam Thomas could see all the usage he can handle, and there will be more minutes available for Noah Clowney and Ziaire Williams.

Porter registered 17 points (7-23 FG, 1-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 129-105 loss to the 76ers.
Porter had one of his worst offensive showings on the young season, but it didn't stop him from hoisting up attempts. Despite a tough night shooting the basketball, the Missouri product set a season high in rebounds, cruising to his first double-double in six games this year.

Porter continued his strong start to the season, tallying a season-high 32 points. The Nets have been woeful to this point, with Porter really the only bright spot. Through his first five games as a Nets player, he has averaged 21.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.2 three-pointers.

Nets' Michael Porter: Struggles to find shooting touch
Rotowire
Porter supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 118-107 loss to San Antonio.
It wasn't Porter's night on the offensive end, firing up 14 attempts from the field only to reach 16 total points. He was slightly more effective from beyond the arc, where he's done a good deal of damage so far this season. Porter is now 10-for-25 from downtown through three games to kick off the 2025-26 campaign.

Nets' Michael Porter: Puts up 31 points in loss
Rotowire
Porter closed Friday's 131-124 loss to Cleveland with 31 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes.
Porter appeared to settle in during Friday's matchup, finishing the game second on his team in scoring behind Cam Thomas' 33-point showing. Porter had a tough start to his tenure with the Nets on Wednesday, going 5-for-15 from the field in 25 minutes, but he showcased his shooting ability Friday, particularly from beyond the arc. The Missouri product connected on just under 40.0 percent of his tries from deep over 77 regular-season appearances a season ago with the Nuggets, so he certainly has the ability to continue this type of production with Brooklyn throughout the course of the 2025-26 campaign.

Nets' Michael Porter: Needs 15 shots to score 12 points
Rotowire
Porter was held to 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 season-opening loss to the Hornets.
Porter is one of the best catch-and-shoot players on this Nets team by a wide margin, although with Brooklyn lacking a true playmaker, it could be tough for him to truly utilize his shot-making abilities. He'll get plenty of opportunities as one of the better offensive players on this team, but since opposing teams will be able to zero in on him, he could struggle from an efficiency standpoint.

Nets' Michael Porter: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Porter posted 34 points (12-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four turnovers across 33 minutes in the Nets' 119-114 preseason loss to Toronto on Friday.
Porter was supposedly feeling under the weather coming into this one, but that clearly didn't impact him while he was on the court. Porter is going to get all the shots he can handle as one of the primary offensive options in Brooklyn, so he could be in for a career year as he enters his age-27 season.

Nets' Michael Porter: Suiting up Friday
Rotowire
Porter (illness) will play in Friday's preseason game against Toronto.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez said pregame that Porter "isn't feeling good," but he'll suit up in the team's preseason finale. The 27-year-old forward is expected to serve as one of Brooklyn's top offensive options in the 2025-26 campaign.

Nets' Michael Porter: Iffy Friday
Rotowire
Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Porter (illness) "isn't feeling good" ahead of Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, and he'll go through his pregame warmups before a final decision is made on his availability, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Porter is expected to be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET. If the forward is unable to suit up, Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf are candidates for an uptick in playing time in the team's preseason finale.
Porter delivered 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding four rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes in Sunday's 111-109 preseason win over the Suns in Macao.
The former Nugget continues to adapt well to his new system and teammates. Porter could be in line for career-best numbers in Brooklyn as one of the main pieces in an offense that isn't dominated by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, after he produced 18.2 points, 7.0 boards, 2.5 threes and 2.1 assists over 77 regular-season games in Denver last season.
