The Denver Nuggets trail 2-1 in their current series against the Los Angeles Clippers, meaning the next game is a crucial one.

However, they may be without one of the biggest names on their roster.

Speaking with ESPN, Michael Porter Jr. opened up about the injury he’s dealing with and what it means for this weekend.

So, will Porter play in the game?

“If I can, I will,” Porter said when asked if he’d be able to play on Saturday for Game 4. “If it’s still in the place like it is today and I don’t feel like I can even bring any help to the team at all, then there’s no point in trying to go out there.”

Porter injured his left shoulder while leaping for the ball near the end of Game 2 on Monday night.

ESPN has reported that it’s a Grade 2 sprain of a joint in his shoulder.

Porter was limited on Thursday night and publicly admitted that he wasn’t his regular self.

While it would have been wise for him to sit out of the game, he wanted to do all he could to help his team win.

Instead, the Nuggets lost, and now Porter is questionable for Game 4.

It’s admirable that Porter attempted to play while he was hurt, but the situation for Denver is quickly deteriorating.

He posted just seven points and six rebounds during the game and mentioned that he was feeling pain throughout the evening.

The Nuggets might be without another player on Saturday, too.

Russell Westbrook left Thursday’s game due to left foot inflammation in the second quarter.

Now, all Nuggets fans are waiting to see what their roster and their chances will look like on Saturday.
