Michael Porter Injury: Probable to play Friday

Porter (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Utah.

Porter was added to the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to a low back strain, but he managed to play and finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 34 minutes in the Nuggets' 127-117 win. He should be able to play through the injury again Friday, but Porter may not be formally cleared to play until after the Nuggets' morning shootaround. Porter has averaged 16.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over 35.2 minutes per game since the beginning of March.
