The biggest worry without Michael Porter Jr. was that offense would be difficult to come by going forward.
When Porter re-injured his back on November 6th, exactly one month ago, there were more than a few people that thought Denver’s season was over. Adding Porter’s injury to that of Jamal Murray, who won’t be back until February at the earliest, seemed like a death knell for Denver’s title hopes while placing their playoff hopes on a razor’s edge. Things didn’t get any better when P.J. Dozier also went down for the season with a torn ACL, Nikola Jokiu0107 was out for a week (Denver lost all four games he missed), and now that Bones Hyland has missed several games to both ankle injuries and health and safety protocols.
