Michael Porter Jr. has spent each of his first seven years in the NBA playing for the Denver Nuggets.

He finished the 2024-25 season with productive averages of 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest while shooting 50.4% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 77 games.

That said, the Nuggets officially traded Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets this week.

Via Nuggets.com: "Denver, July 6, 2025 – The Denver Nuggets have acquired Cam Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round draft pick, Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Ben Tenzer and Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Jonathan Wallace announced today."

The Nuggets lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs (in seven games).
