The Nuggets traded Porter and a first-round pick to the Nets for Cameron Johnson on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Porter appeared in 77 regular season games in 2024-25, averaging 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 33.7 minutes. However, he struggled during the 2025 playoffs, and the Nuggets opted to ship him to Brooklyn in exchange for Johnson. While the move certainly decreases Porter's chances at making the postseason, there should be plenty of shots for the 27-year-old on a rebuilding Nets roster. He'll immediately slot into the starting small forward spot for Brooklyn.

Porter totaled six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

It concludes a rough postseason for Porter, who shot just 39.2 percent from the field and 34.3 percent from downtown while managing a significant shoulder injury. Additionally, the veteran sharpshooter averaged just 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 31.1 minutes across 14 playoff games. Despite his postseason struggles, Porter will likely still be worth targeting for points and three-pointers in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts for 2025-26.

Porter ended Thursday's 119-107 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Porter delivered a bounce-back performance after totaling five points and shooting 2-for-14 from the field in his previous two outings. The 26-year-old forward still appears to be dealing with a sprained left shoulder. He received a lidocaine injection before Game 6 and plans to take another before Game 7, per Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com. The sharpshooter may not be at 100 percent, but the club will likely need him to help space the floor in Sunday's Game 7.

Porter totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Porter has been held to single-digit scoring in four of the five games in this series. After a 21-point performance in Game 3, during which he knocked down five three-pointers, the 26-year-old has missed his last ten attempts from beyond the arc across Games 4 and 5. Porter's shoulder injury is certainly a factor in his recent struggles, but the Nuggets need him to regain form in order to stave off elimination.

Porter chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 92-87 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was held to single-digit points for the third time out of four games in this series. He's playing at less than 100 percent due to a shoulder issue, which certainly impacts him. He's hitting 31.4 percent from the field in four games with 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers.

Porter finished Friday's 113-104 overtime win over Oklahoma City in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 21 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 42 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Porter played through his shoulder injury, connecting on five triples en route to 21 points, the most he has scored in the postseason. With Nikola Jokic struggling, Porter was able to take on more responsibility, along with Jamal Murray. Although he is still clearly limited by the injury, there is no indication Porter will miss time moving forward.

Porter supplied two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Porter was limited to just 24 minutes, likely as a result of his ongoing shoulder issues. It's been a frustrating postseason for Porter, who is playing through an injury that would typically require weeks of rest. There is no indication that he will miss time moving forward, although it is clear he is playing at less than 100 percent right now.

Porter (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Porter will shake off a probable tag due to the sprained left shoulder that he sustained during last Monday's Game 2 loss. The 26-year-old forward has averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 assists across 34.0 minutes per game in four first-round appearances. He's also shooting an efficient 42.1 percent from beyond the arc during the series.

Porter (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Porter sustained a sprained left shoulder during last Monday's loss in Game 2, though he has yet to miss a matchup in this series. The sharpshooter has averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 assists across 34.0 minutes per contest in four first-round games thus far.

Porter (shoulder) is available for Saturday's Game 4 against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Porter has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a left shoulder sprain. Porter has averaged 31.3 minutes across the first three games of the series, and there is no indication he will be limited in Game 4.
