Just in time for Christmas, the Nuggets are taking the wraps off Michael Porter Jr., who’s as fine and fragile as a $179 million piece of Baccarat crystal. The big question: How long before he breaks this time?
“I think I’m in a good spot to pick up right where I left off,” Porter said Thursday, insisting he’s ready to end a month-long absence caused by a nagging heel injury.
Although still listed as doubtful, Porter expects to play for the Nuggets for the first time since scoring 18 points in a loss to Detroit on Nov.
