Otto Porter Jr., the versatile forward with a career spanning over a decade across five NBA teams, has decided to retire, as confirmed by a Jazz press release.
Everyone’s goal in life is to be successful. Success can be measured in a number of different ways. One may measure success in the amount of money that may make in their lives.
Otto Porter Jr., who was part of the Golden State Warriors’ 2021-22 championship run, is calling it a career. He last played for the Utah Jazz and was actually set to be waived by the team.
Even with the NBA trade deadline having come and gone, the Utah Jazz are still attempting to work through some of the happenings from their roster shake-up.
Otto Porter Jr. was traded to the Utah Jazz as part of the deal that sent Kelly Olynyk to the Toronto Raptors at the February 8 trade deadline, and it appears he will be on the move again.
Otto Porter Jr. may actually have some trade value. It’s been over a month since Porter last saw the court for the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 30, but there appears to still be some interest in the 30-year-old oft-injured forward.
Otto Porter Jr. just can’t catch a break. Just as he was beginning to find his footing as a rotation player for the Toronto Raptors this year, the 30-year-old forward sustained a left foot contusion Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets and was immediately ruled out.
Porter Jr. suffered his injury during Golden State's Game 3 win on Sunday. Without the ninth-year pro available for Tuesday's contest, the Mavs staved off elimination with a 119-109 victory in Game 4.
