The Denver Nuggets and Michael Porter Jr. held extension talks earlier this season, sources tell The Athletic. Porter makes $35.8 million this season and is signed through the 26-27 season. Porter is having a career year with 18.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.

Porter has also surfaced in trade rumors first last offseason for Paul George and again now as the Nuggets look to improve their offense.

Porter helps Denver with their spacing and has improved on defense while staying healthy considering his early season injury issues.

What makes this a career year? 2.8 assists? He had both more points and more rebounds in 2020 at age 22

was this supposed to say "early career" ?

He hasn't missed 1 game this season
