Michael Porter Jr. completes outstanding home stand with vital second-unit minutes vs. Warriors: “That should be the standard”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:38:48 GMT

Michael Malone read the box score without double-taking and laid out his expectation.“Eight rebounds, 17 points, two blocks,” the Nuggets coach said after a 108-105 win over the Warriors on Wednesday night. “That should be the standard for Michael Porter. We shouldn’t be surprised by it. We should expect it every night.”The more Malone is asked about increased maturity or defensive evolution for Michael Porter Jr., the more he doubles down on his belief that what spectators envision as Porter at his best should actually be Porter at his average. He has an individual net rating of plus-13 points per 100 possessions so far this season.“I should perform every night,” Porter said. “If my three’s not falling, I’ve gotta get to the line. I’ve gotta crash the glass. I’ve gotta get some easy ones. When my three is falling, that’s how those games turn into really big games. But I should be producing every night on the glass, scoring the b...

But he also is taking a glass-half-full approach into Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, and he does so with a refreshed mind and body from last week’s bye.Sure, the 49ers (5-3) as a team definitely needed the break to recharge and recalibrate, including left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Deebo Samuel, both of whom practiced Thursday and should return from two-game absences.For Purdy, last week’s down time offered something new, seeing how last season’s bye came a month before he relieved Ji...
