The never ending wait to watch Michael Porter Jr. suit up in a Nuggets uniform came to a close on Tuesday night in Portland. After sitting out all of last season while recovering from back surgery, Porter was ready to make his debut.
But, as Nuggets fans have grown accustomed too, the wait for Porter was a little longer than expected. Porter finally took the floor with 4:30 left in the third quarter. It did not take long for Porter to score his first bucket as he nailed a step-back jumper just 40 seconds upon checking in.
