Porter notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.
The Nuggets decided to rest Russell Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, while Jamal Murray (knee) was ruled out due to a minor injury, so Porter embraced the role of being a go-to player on offense and led a depleted Nuggets roster in scoring in this 30-point loss. Porter and the Nuggets have one more preseason game left against the Timberwolves on Thursday.
