Porter (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
After posting 12 points, eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes for the G League's Cleveland Charge during a Thursday morning loss to the Motor City Cruise, Porter was a late addition to the NBA injury report and didn't suit up for the Cavaliers on Thursday night. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus the Hornets. The 24-year-old's absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation, as he hasn't played more than seven minutes in a game over the Cavaliers' last five contests. Porter has recently made two appearances in the G League, but he's struggled mightily with his shot, going 10-for-31 from the field and 2-for-11 from deep. While he dished out 14 assists in those two games, he also coughed up 10 turnovers.
