Nuggets Locker Room Report Confirms Michael Porter Jr’s Health Struggle As Apology Over Fight vs Clippers Emerge

So, let’s talk about Michael Porter Jr., the Nuggets’ not-so-secret weapon who’s been struggling with injuries all season — and now, in the middle of the most crucial playoff run, his body’s not cooperating. The guy can’t catch a break, and it’s starting to show in a big way.

MPJ’s left shoulder is still a major issue, and after Game 2 against the Clippers, it’s clear the pain is getting worse. In fact, after the game, MPJ had to ask two staffers, “Who wants to help me take off this jersey?” That’s the kind of injury we’re talking about here — he’s in such intense pain that he can’t even manage the simplest of tasks without help. For a guy who’s supposed to be one of Denver’s key contributors, this is a major problem.

But wait, the injury issues don’t stop there. The Nuggets’ Game 2 against the Clippers wasn’t just about basketball. The game escalated into chaos when a scuffle broke out. It wasn’t a huge brawl, but things got heated, and MPJ, in the heat of the moment, left the bench. This was a clear violation of league rules, and the optics weren’t great. When asked about it afterward, MPJ was quick to apologize, admitting that he didn’t know the rule. He smiled and said, “Sorry,” in a totally wholesome way, which, honestly, just made the whole situation feel a little awkward.
