FYI - Michael Porter Jr.

Porter will miss the rest of the season after having back surgery.

just "buying" his time until draft day..

honestly, if my kid was the #1 nba pick, he'd just hire a trainer to work out for the year. No way in hell he plays ball in a league until the ink is dry*...lol

 

[jaymOU]

Wow. That's a blow to Mizzou. He would have never needed surgery if he came to OU

 

[AdaSooner]

Michael is one of Trae’s best friends. Tough break for the kid!

Most likely cautionary. He was committed to Washington and then Missouri, so clearly competing in college was not at the top of his priority list.

Future nba stars don’t have elective back surgery for fun so they don’t have to play NCAA basketball.

His dad moved jobs bc his boss got canned. Not just chasing different schools. No such thing as cautionary back surgery!

I’m not trying to say the kid isn’t really hurt, but the main reason his dad got each of the jobs he got was because of who his son is.
