The physical condition is really bad! Shouldn t the Nuggets continue to let the forward player appear in G7?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Los Angeles Clippers, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 111-105, chasing the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will enter a cruel tiebreaker. The winner will meet the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is ranked first in the Western Conference in the regular season, in the Western Conference semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated.

In this game, the performance of Nuggets' forward player Michael Porter Jr. was actually very unsatisfactory. Porter Jr. played 24 minutes and 24 seconds in the game, made 2 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 0 of 1 free throw, scoring 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block, and the plus and negative value was lower than the lowest level of -24 in the game. Porter Jr. did not get much ball rights or mobile phone opportunities on the offensive end, and he really couldn't provide more help and support to the team in terms of scoring. Porter Jr. worked very hard on the defensive end, but it was obvious that his physical condition was not ideal, and he couldn't maintain enough strength on the defensive end. The situation of the team when Porter Jr. was on the court was a mess, which can also be reflected in his ultra-low plus-negative value. We can also intuitively feel that Porter Jr.'s injury is very serious, which has obviously led to his inability to display his talents and his role on the court is very limited. If Porter Jr. has less playing time, maybe the situation in the game will change.

In the NBA regular season this season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, three-point shooting percentage was 39.5%, and free throw shooting percentage was 76.8%. So far in the playoffs, he has averaged 33.2 minutes in his first six games, with averaging 10.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. He has 44% shooting percentage, 46.2% three-point shooting percentage and 62.5% free throw shooting percentage.

Potter Jr.'s performance in this round of the series is not without highlights, but the biggest problem is that his injury situation is deteriorating. In this game, Porter Jr.'s left shoulder was wrapped tightly, and we can tell from this how serious his injury was. Obviously, due to the injury, Porter Jr. was unable to show his ability at all. He dragged the team down on both ends of the offense and defense. There are indeed some unavailable on the Nuggets bench, but the negative impact of such Porter on the court on the team is also visible to the naked eye. It is no exaggeration to say that no one can get on, the effect will be worse than that of Porter Little. In G7, if Porter Jr.'s injury situation cannot be alleviated, the Nuggets shouldn't continue to let him play.
