Missouri freshman basketball player Michael Porter Jr. indeed has a medical checkup for his back injury on Thursday. Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin confirmed that much during a segment on St. Louis radio station KFNS 590 AM in an interview with Frank Cusamano.
Martin wasn’t sure what to expect from Porter’s visit but insisted he won’t play Saturday when the Tigers play at Louisiana State.
“Not at all,” Martin said. “Not at all. Not at all.”
What about Tuesday’s home game against Ole Miss?
”I’d be shocked if he’s on the floor,” Martin said.
