Michael Porter Sr. flew into this city Thursday morning ready to watch and support his two oldest sons, Michael Jr. and Jontay, in the NBA Draft combine. But there wasn’t much for the father and Missouri assistant basketball coach to watch.
Porter Jr., like most projected lottery picks, did not participate in the five-on-five scrimmages here during the first day of action at the combine, which ends Friday. Jontay Porter, who has declared for the draft but has not signed with an agent — which leaves open the possibility of a return to MU — surprisingly opted not to participate in the scrimmages either.
