The Porter era might be over at MU.
Mizzou forward Jontay Porter announced he will declare for the NBA Draft and sign with an agent after missing his sophomore season due to a torn right MCL and ACL.
Under new NCAA rules, Porter could still return for another season, but his injury history makes that unlikely. Porter re-tore his right ACL in late-March after playing on the court before doctors cleared him and won’t be cleared to play until the end of the year. Despite missing the entire season, Porter is still a projected first-round draft pick, partly because the 2019 draft is weaker than in past years and his skillset translates very easily to the pro level.
