Michael Porter Jr. is finished allowing others to dictate his legacy and the future of his career.
Yes, much of his basketball life has been out of his hands due to injury. Porter was barely able to play in college due to his back issue. After being drafted by the Denver Nuggets, Porter went under the scalpel with Denver hoping the procedure would rectify his ailing back. Porter ended up missing all of his rookie season because of the procedure, but after the first surgery, he played in 116 games over two seasons and thrived which led to him earning his maximum contract extension.
