On Sunday, the Detroit Pistons’ best season in two decades came to a disappointing end in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Despite suffering a second straight series loss and taking a 3–2 lead in their best-of-seven against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit suffered a devastating loss at home in Game 7.

As disappointing as the end of their 60-win season was, the Pistons have a good young core and will be a force in the East for years to come. However, if they want to be taken seriously as title contenders next season, they will need to make some bold moves to improve the roster this summer.

If they can re-sign restricted free agent All-Star Jalen Duren to a new deal that isn’t close to max money, they will have to aim for more offensive punch on defense with the addition of top star Cade Cunningham.

Whether it’s a superstar, All-Star, or impactful role player, here are 10 players the Pistons should target this offseason.

CJ McCallum

The Atlanta Hawks found out how valuable graybird CJ McCollum can be after trading for him during the season. He emerged as a team leader and strong secondary scorer. During the playoffs, he became the leading scorer when Jalen Johnson buckled under postseason pressure.

The Pistons don’t need him to be a top scorer, but the 34-year-old could be perfect as another option behind Cunningham, and he should come at a reasonable rate in free agency.

afernee simmons

The Pistons need more offensive punch off their bench or next to Cunningham in the backcourt. Another interesting option would be Portland Trail Blazers veteran Anfernee Simmons. Although he bounced back a bit last season, the 26-year-old is a player who has averaged more than 20 points a game twice during his career and is a legitimate three-point threat.

Since his value is lower than it was a few years ago, Detroit may be able to get him for a much cheaper rate in free agency.

giannis antetokounmpo

There is no doubt that the Pistons will be linked to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chase this offseason. If healthy, the combination of Cunningham and the two-time NBA MVP could be a major problem for every other team in the East. And Detroit could certainly make a good business proposition.

However, the bigger question is, will Trajan Langdon mortgage his future to make such a bold move on an aging player who has developed real injury concerns?

norman powell

Eleven-year NBA veteran Norman Powell has quietly emerged as one of the better scoring forwards in the game after two seasons averaging over 21 points a game. The first-time All-Star is a free agent and will certainly get a nice raise this summer.

Powell would be a notable upgrade over Tobias Harris and would give Detroit a No. 2 scoring option that opponents should respect without giving up draft assets in a trade.

Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr.’s seventh season in the league was a career-best year. As the No. 1 option for the Brooklyn Nets, he posted 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals a night. Staying healthy has always been the forward’s biggest issue, but he’s still only 27 years old and on an expiring contract.

Although he won’t come cheap and may be a rental, the trio of Cunningham, Duran and Porter could be finals contenders next season.

kobi white

If Langdon looks to build a deep roster around Cunningham and Duren, another free agent to keep an eye on is Chicago Bulls veteran Coby White. He is an impact scorer off the bench or in the starting lineup after averaging 15.4 ppg over his seven-year career. He’s only 26 years old, he should arrive at a reasonable rate, and he’ll be a very good veteran player this offseason.

Trey Murphy III

When casual fans think of the New Orleans Pelicans, they assume Zion Williamson is their top star. However, due to his injury problems, Trey Murphy III has emerged as the No. 1 scoring option in NOLA. But that hasn’t been good enough to bring them out of the bottom of the standings, which is why the Pelicans may consider a trade this summer as they continue their rebuild.

While it could cost him at least two first-round picks in a trade, if Langdon wants to move forward with a combination of Cunningham and Duren, the 25-year-old Murphy III could be a third of the title contenders in the next few years.

ja morant

If the Detroit Pistons are willing to be risky, two-time All-Star Ja Morant could be acquired without giving up any meaningful draft picks. That’s how much his value has diminished due to his trouble staying healthy over the last few years and being off the court during that time.

However, if any player could benefit from a change in landscape and get back to his typical ways, it would be Morant. If Detroit can keep the 26-year-old healthy and focused, Morant could help form the best backcourt in the NBA with Cunningham.

peyton watson

Denver Nuggets veteran Peyton Watson is going to attract a lot of interest in free agency this summer. The 2025-26 season was a success for the 23-year-old, as he posted just 15 points and five boards a night while shooting 41% from three.

If Langdon is looking for a third building block that he can develop alongside Cunningham and Duren, Watson would be at the top of his free agent wish list.

Domantas Sabonis

The sleeper target for the Pistons this summer could be three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis. The Sacramento Kings were unable to find a trade for him before the trade deadline and are certain to acquire him again this summer. However he is owed a lot of money and due to a torn meniscus his price will probably be nowhere near what it was a few seasons ago.

The combo of Sabonis and Duren in the front court for a few seasons, as they dominate the boards, will be an approach that former rivals will have difficulty coping with.

密爾瓦基公鹿隊主教練道格·里弗斯表示，預計後衛小凱文·波特將在 2025-26 賽季剩餘時間內缺席。

里弗斯表示本賽季不太可能回歸，體育界的埃里克·內姆（Eric Nehm）在周六的 X 上分享了這一最新消息。

“雄鹿隊主教練里弗斯也表示，如果小凱文·波特本賽季再次上場，他會感到驚訝。”

小波特目前因右膝滑膜炎而缺陣，自上週二密爾瓦基以 123-116 輸給克利夫蘭騎士隊以來就沒有參加過比賽。那場比賽，他儘管失利，但依然發揮強勁，拿下25分、10次助攻、3個籃板和2次阻攻。他在33分鐘內15投8中，罰球8投8中，三分球4投1中。

這位25歲的球員整個賽季都是公鹿隊的關鍵貢獻者。在 38 場比賽中，其中 36 場首發，小波特場均得到 17.4 分、職業生涯最高的 7.4 次助攻、5.2 個籃板和職業生涯最高的 2.2 次搶斷。他場均上場 33.2 分鐘，投籃命中率為 46.5%，三分命中率為 32.2%，罰球命中率為生涯最高的 87.8%。

公鹿隊希望在沒有小凱文波特的情況下結束賽季。

密爾瓦基一直在努力保持穩定，以 29 勝 43 負的戰績進入賽季最後階段。週三晚上，球隊以 130-99 輸給波特蘭拓荒者隊，目前球隊在東部積分榜上排名第 11 位。

公鹿隊現在將在賽季結束時考慮在沒有主要組織者之一的情況下調整他們的輪換陣容。密爾瓦基隊將於週六開始在主場對陣聖安東尼奧馬刺隊 (55-18) 的三場比賽，開球時間定於美國東部時間下午 3:00。

小波特的缺席對於公鹿隊來說是一個重大挫折，公鹿隊試圖在評估球隊陣容的同時以積極的方式結束本賽季。

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. recently shared why he thinks he needs to surpass Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo’s 83-point performance, pointing to Kobe Bryant’s legacy as a major inspiration.

Porter Jr. made the comments while reacting to Adebayo’s historic run during a recent livestream.

“I’m trying to drop 80 [points]. shout out kobe [Bryant]Shout out to Bam because I’m definitely beating him one day. Now that Kobe has lost, I have to defeat Bam to honor Kobe.”

Adebayo’s 83-point game is now the second-highest scoring performance in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game and surpassing Bryant’s iconic 81-point performance with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006.

The 25-year-old Porter Jr. is currently in his sixth NBA season and his first full campaign with Milwaukee, where he has taken on an expanded role in the backcourt. Through 38 games, including 36 starts, he has averaged 17.4 points, a career-high 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and a career-high 2.2 steals per game, while shooting 46.5% from the field, 32.2% from three-point range and a career-high 87.8% from the free-throw line in 33.2 minutes per contest.

Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. eyes points from Bam Adebayo, Kobe Bryant

The surge in Porter Jr.’s scoring has already been evident in his career. The highest performance of his career came during the 2020–21 season with the Houston Rockets, when he recorded 50 points, 11 assists, and five rebounds in a matchup against the Bucks in late April. In that game, he shot 16 of 26 from the field, 9 of 15 from three-point range, and 9 of 11 from the free-throw line in 41 minutes.

Adebayo’s performance has sparked league-wide discussion regarding milestones achieved and the pursuit of records, with players and analysts reflecting on the circumstances surrounding the historic night. However, Porter Jr. remains focused on competing and respecting the standard set by Bryant.

Milwaukee is coming off a challenging season, entering the finals with a 29–42 record and 11th in the Eastern Conference standings. Despite the team’s struggles, Porter Jr.’s individual production has been a bright spot as the Bucks look toward the future.

The Bucks are set to conclude their four-game road trip with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers (36-37) on Wednesday night at 10:00 PM ET. Milwaukee is entering the contest coming off a 129-96 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.

As the season ends, Porter Jr.’s comments reflect his confidence and the broader impact of Adebayo’s historic performance, which continues to resonate throughout the league.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in 2-3 weeks, the team announced Thursday. Porter has missed Brooklyn’s last three games with an ankle sprain.

The 6-foot-10 forward felt discomfort in his hamstring during Wednesday’s workout. An MRI revealed a strain that would sideline him until the final weeks of the season.

Porter is having a career-best season as Brooklyn’s No. 1 option. The 27-year-old is averaging a career-high 24.2 points on .463/.363/.859 shooting splits in 52 appearances following his trade to the Denver Nuggets.

Michael Porter Jr. out for extended period as Nets season ends

The Nets are 3-14 in games Porter has missed. They have recorded the NBA’s worst offense over their last four games and have sidelined veteran forwards. Igor Demin and Deron Sharp have also been out during that period after opting out of the season.

Brooklyn is averaging 95.3 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the field and 32.0 percent from three over its last four games. Jordi Fernandez scored 24 points during the first half of his team’s 121-92 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

The Nets are in the midst of a heated draft lottery race. They are in third place in the lottery standings with 13 games remaining. Brooklyn has one win less than the fourth-place Sacramento Kings, one more than the third-place Washington Wizards and two more than the first-place Indiana Pacers.

With two matchups against the Kings before meetings with the Wizards and Pacers, the Nets have the easiest remaining strength in the NBA.

The Brooklyn Nets have been without Michael Porter Jr. for the last four games, and now they are going to be without him for a while longer as he deals with a hamstring injury.

Michael Porter Jr. will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks after an MRI confirmed a left hamstring strain, according to longtime NBA insider Marc Stein. Porter was in the midst of a breakout season following a trade from the Denver Nuggets, and he attracted considerable interest in the trade market at the deadline.

The No. 14 overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, Porter has played his entire career so far with the Nuggets. He was a key part of the team’s 2023 NBA Championship run. The Nuggets opted to trade Porter to the Nets in the offseason, giving Denver sharpshooting wing Cam Johnson.

With a larger role and more freedom offensively, Porter was among the breakout players this season. Before being sidelined, he had appeared in 52 games for the Nets, averaging a little over 32 minutes per game. He averaged career-highs of 24.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals while splitting 46.3 percent shooting from the field, 36.3 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 85.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

In addition to his points per game, Porter’s rebounding and assists are also career highs.

With the regular season coming to an end, the Nets are currently 17-52 and in 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are on pace to receive a lottery selection in a deep and talented draft.

布鲁克林篮网队在过去的四场比赛中都缺席了小迈克尔·波特，现在由于他继续处理腿筋伤势，他们将缺席他一段时间。

据长期担任 NBA 内部人士的马克·斯坦 (Marc Stein) 透露，在核磁共振检查证实小迈克尔·波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 左腿筋拉伤后，他将在接下来的两到三周内缺席比赛。波特在被丹佛掘金队交易后正处于一个爆发的赛季，并在截止日期前引起了交易市场的极大兴趣。

作为 2018 年 NBA 选秀大会上的第 14 顺位新秀，波特的整个职业生涯都在掘金队度过。他是球队争夺 2023 年 NBA 冠军的关键人物。掘金队选择在休赛期将波特交易到篮网队，并在这笔交易中得到了丹佛神射手侧翼卡姆·约翰逊。

凭借更重要的角色和更多的进攻自由度，波特成为本赛季突破性的球员之一。在缺阵之前，他为篮网队出战了 52 场比赛，场均上场时间略多于 32 分钟。他场均得到职业生涯最高的24.2分、7.1个篮板、3.0次助攻和1.1次抢断，投篮命中率为46.3%，三分球命中率为36.3%，罚球命中率为85.9%。

除了场均得分之外，波特的篮板和助攻也创职业生涯新高。

随着常规赛的结束，篮网队目前战绩为17胜52负，在东部积分榜上排名第13位。他们有望在预计将是一次深度和才华横溢的选秀中获得乐透选秀权。

The Brooklyn Nets will look to snap a four-game losing streak when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. Leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. could return to their lineup for the match after a three-game absence.

Porter is questionable to play against Oklahoma City after missing Brooklyn’s last three games due to an ankle sprain. Head coach Jordi Fernandez said the star forward participated in his first on-court workout on Monday.

Brooklyn has built its offense around Porter’s off-ball movement and elite shotmaking. Porter is averaging a career-high 24.2 points on .463/.363/.859 shooting splits in 52 appearances this season. In the games he missed, the Nets are 3-13.

He has struggled to do anything offensively during his latest absence.

Michael Porter Jr. upgraded to questionable vs. Thunder amid three-game absence

Brooklyn is averaging 96.3 points on 40.1 percent shooting over its last three games, which ranks last in the league in both categories. The rebuilding team has been without several other rotation pieces besides Porter in each loss.

With the Nets out of play-in contention, they have given extended minutes to two-way players Tyson Etienne, EJ Liddell, Chanie Johnson and 10-day signee Malachi Smith over the past week. Trade acquisitions Josh Minot and Ochai Agbaji have also played a heavy role.

Meanwhile, the Thunder have won twelve of their last 13 games as they look to lock down the NBA’s top seed for the second consecutive season. Oklahoma City will be on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday after defeating the Orlando Magic 113-108 on Tuesday at the Kia Center.

Ben Saraf (left foot soreness) is also doubtful for the Nets on Wednesday. Nolan Traore (right eye strain) and Terrence Mann (left eye strain) are probable.

The Brooklyn Nets will be shorthanded for the second consecutive game when they travel to face the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. The Nets ruled Michael Porter Jr. (right ankle sprain), Deron Sharp (left thumb sprain) and Nolan Traore (rest) out for the matchup. Ziare Williams (illness) is questionable.

The Nets recently shut down breakout rookie Igor Demin for the season due to a plantar fascia injury. The lengthy injury report comes after Sharp and Williams missed Tuesday’s 138-100 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Brooklyn benched veteran Terrence Mann during the game, playing recent two-way signing Chanie Johnson and trade acquisition Josh Minot in extended minutes.

These rotation changes were followed by consecutive wins over the Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies, causing the Nets to lose significant ground in the NBA’s tank race.

Nets rule out several starters for Hawks matchup after back-to-back wins

Brooklyn was tied with the Indiana Pacers for second place in the draft lottery standings and within striking distance of the first-place Sacramento Kings last week. However, the Nets rode a veteran-heavy rotation to take on the Pistons on Saturday. They then played most of their rotation against the Grizzlies, which were without their eight highest-paid players, and led the way to a win on Monday.

The pair of wins dropped Brooklyn to fourth place in the lottery standings. Jordi Fernandez’s team has one more win than the second- and third-place Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards, respectively, and two more wins than the first-place Pacers.

Despite their recent wins, the Nets control their own destiny in the draft lottery race. Brooklyn’s remaining schedule includes two matchups with the Kings, as well as meetings with the Pacers and Wizards.

A loss in those games would allow the Nets to climb into the top spot in the odds for May’s draft lottery.

Michael Porter Jr. broke his podcast hiatus last week. When asked about the No. 1 rule change he’d like to see the NBA make, the Brooklyn Nets forward pointed to the league’s tanking pandemic.

Porter said on The Emily Austin Show, “They have to do something about this tanking situation. I don’t like that teams are intentionally trying to tank just to get a good draft pick.” “I think ruining the entire NBA season is no way to go. It’s not very ethical for the game. People pay a lot of money to see the best players in the world compete, and you want to see teams compete to their full potential every night, and when teams keep doing the same things they’re doing these days, it can be tough… I understand rebuilding teams, but I think there’s an ethical way to do it and a non-ethical way to do it. So hopefully that “They can change it, I just feel like the best players are on the field every night.”

After several intense playoff runs with the Denver Nuggets, Porter is experiencing his first rebuild this season.

Michael Porter Jr. urges NBA to fix tanking amid historic draft lottery race

Tanking has been the most talked about problem around the NBA over the past few months. The Nets are one of the third players in the league to have the top pick in the 2026 draft.

The decline in quality of play during the final months of the season has been a topic of discussion for years. However, the issue became acute as the trade deadline began this year.

The outcry from fans, media, and others led Adam Silver and the league office to predict significant rule changes the following season.

“We’re going to make substantial changes for next year,” Silver told Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, speaking on a panel at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. “I think that’s where I’m at – at one extreme, you could completely separate the draft from teams’ records. Just make the argument that we could take all 30 teams regardless of the outcome, which would completely discourage tanking. You could win the finals, you know, and get the first pick. But then there’s also gradation.”

Michael Porter Jr. is getting the night off during an important tank matchup following the Brooklyn Nets’ unexpected win over the Detroit Pistons. Porter was ruled out of Monday’s game with the Memphis Grizzlies for rest.

The night of rest comes after the Nets lost in a tightly contested tank race following a 23-point comeback in the second half against the Pistons on Saturday. Porter scored a game-high 30 points with 13 rebounds in the impressive win. He played 39 minutes, his most in any game this season.

The win, which snapped a 10-game losing streak, moved the Nets into a tie with the Washington Wizards for third place in the draft lottery standings. They are 1.5 games behind the second-place Indiana Pacers and two games behind the first-place Sacramento Kings.

Can the Nets pick up their second straight win on Monday against the depleted Grizzlies?

Even with Porter and Egor Demin sidelined, the Nets will have a good chance to pick up their second straight win on Monday. The Grizzlies’ eight highest-paid players are on the injury report along with other players.

Memphis will be without Ja Morant, Zach Eddy, Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Clarke and Taj Gibson on Monday. Meanwhile, Cedric Coward, Ty Jerome, Scottie Pippen Jr. and Taylor Hendricks are questionable.

If all of the above names are ruled out, the Grizzlies will have only eight available players against the Nets: Walter Clayton Jr., Cam Spencer, GG Jackson, Jaylen Wells, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Javon Small, Ryan Rupert and Jahmai Meshach. All of those players are on rookie contracts, minimum or two-way deals. There is no center among the group.

Meanwhile, both of Brooklyn’s centers, Nick Claxton and De’Ron Sharp, are available.

The Brooklyn Nets made a strong comeback with a 107-105 win over the Detroit Pistons last time out and will next host the Memphis Grizzlies. However, both teams are dealing with a plethora of injuries, making this look more like a tanking game than an NBA matchup.

According to the official injury report, a total of 13 players have been mentioned in the official injury report, ten of which are from Memphis. Ja Morant is out with a UCL sprain in his left elbow.

The frontcourt is also depleted with Santi Aldama (right knee injury management), Brandon Clarke (right calf strain), and Zach Eddy (left ankle surgery recovery) out. Veteran Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is also sidelined while recovering from surgery on his right fifth finger, while Taj Gibson is unavailable as he works through return-to-competition reconstruction. Lastly, Cedric Coward (management of right knee injury), Taylor Hendricks (management of right toe injury), Ty Jerome (management of right calf injury) and Scottie Pippen Jr. (management of right toe injury) are all listed as questionable.

Meanwhile, the Nets also have some injury concerns. Michael Porter Jr., who leads the team with 24.3 points per game, has been ruled out for rest. Rookie Egor Demin will also miss the game due to left plantar fascia injury management while Ben Saraf is listed as probable despite back tightness.

However, both the teams have been struggling for some time now. Memphis is entering the game at 23-39 (11th in the Western Conference) while Brooklyn is currently 16-47 (14th in the Eastern Conference).
The Grizzlies have lost three consecutive games and six of their last eight. Meanwhile, the Nets snapped a ten-game losing streak against the high-flying Pistons last time out and will hope to continue the momentum.

Over their last 10 games, the Nets have gone 1-9 with an average of just 102.6 points, highlighting the league’s worst offense at 106.9 points per game. The scoring drought remains their biggest concern despite facing a team that allows 115.6 points per contest.

Regardless, with the extent that Memphis has struggled with injuries, Brooklyn will enter this one as the favorite.

The Milwaukee Bucks finally have Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the lineup, but the celebration was short-lived. Just before tip-off against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, the team announced that guard Kevin Porter Jr. would miss the contest due to significant swelling in his right knee.

The game at Fiserv Forum is currently hotly contested, with Milwaukee holding a slim 71-66 lead at halftime, with the focus primarily on the long-term health of their young guard. Head coach Doc Rivers Axe, previously via Eric Nehm on Twitter, did not seem particularly optimistic when discussing the injury during his pre-game availability. Rivers noted that the knee has been a problem for about two weeks, but the recent incident was serious enough to raise alarm bells on a large scale.

Asked about a possible lengthy absence, Rivers said, “We’re hoping not.” “They’re going to do more things tomorrow to check, but it’s a lot of swelling and then you have the concern. It’s been really bothering him for the last few weeks, but it just hasn’t progressed the way it has, so there’s some concern there.”

The Bucks are trying their best to stabilize their season and stay in the Eastern Conference play-in race. Getting Antetokounmpo back on the floor is a big boost, but losing Porter Jr., who has been a reliable secondary playmaker averaging 17.5 points and 7.4 assists this season, is a brutal blow. Ryan Rollins has stepped into a bigger role tonight to make up for the loss as the Bucks look to stop a Jalen Johnson-led Atlanta team.

Milwaukee will likely provide a more definitive update after further testing on Thursday. For now, the Bucks are holding their breath regarding their backcourt rotation as they struggle to get a much-needed home win.

周二，布鲁克林篮网队在卡塞亚中心以 124-98 不敌迈阿密热火队，连续第九场失利。在与小迈克尔·波特并肩作战之后，尼克·克拉克斯顿对他的球队在南海滩的第一场背靠背比赛中的表现进行了恰当的描述。

“这是一个全面的恶臭，”克拉克斯顿说。

在重建赛季中，网队正在寻求记分牌之外的胜利。然而，他们很难从周二的表现中找到很多东西。

乔迪·费尔南德斯的球队攻防两端都很糟糕，96投33中（38.4%），三分球32投6中（18.8%），同时出现了18次失误。布鲁克林整个晚上都在努力应对迈阿密的防守。

波特打出了本赛季最差的表现，17投3中，三分球9投0中拿下9分。费尔南德斯在第三节开场两分钟就将他的顶级球员猛拉，一直拖到第四节 9 分 43 秒。

在波特替补上场期间，两人多次交谈。

“我希望迈克和第一支球队能够尽可能努力地比赛，”费尔南德斯在谈到他拉下波特的决定时说道。 “我想挑战他们做到这一点，因为我见过他们这样做，尤其是在防守端。如果发生这种情况，我可以忍受发生的任何事情。如果是这样，那么你就是无私的，你是在为球队效力，并且只会有好事发生。我试图以不同的方式挑战每个人。”

波特是本赛季初 NBA 效率最高的得分手之一，在前 38 场比赛中场均 25.6 分，投篮命中率为 0.482/0.398/0.851。

小迈克尔·波特，新秀控球后卫挣扎，篮网队连续九场失利

许多人预计波特上半场的表现将使他首次入选全明星，他承认这激励了他。然而，自从受到冷落以来，这位27岁的球员的作品已经断崖式下跌。

在过去的11场比赛中，波特场均得到19.2分，投篮命中率为40.8%，三分球命中率为23.5%（85投20中）。在此期间，他的净评级为-21.5，而之前的净评级为-1.5。

虽然波特表现很糟糕，但布鲁克林新秀控球后卫历史上糟糕的表现同样令人沮丧。由于叶戈尔·德明缺阵，诺兰·特拉奥雷和本·萨拉夫在三个季度中各自贡献了零助攻和六次失误。

热火队在三节比赛中以 16 比 6 的比分凭借失误战胜篮网队，建立起永不回头的领先优势。

“[Nolan and Ben] 需要成长。他们需要成长、观察并从中学习，”费尔南德斯说。“而且我知道他们会更好。如果他们还年轻，这不是借口。我看过他们的比赛，他们比 12 次失误和 0 次助攻要好得多。他们如何组织团队、如何发声，所有这些都很重要。”

当被问到乔迪·费尔南德斯关于诺兰·特劳雷和本·萨拉夫昨晚三节比赛中的零助攻和 12 次失误的情况时：

诺亚·克劳尼是周二布鲁克林唯一的亮点之一。这位三年级前锋8投4中、罚球9中8拿下17分和7个篮板。丹尼·沃尔夫替补出场20分钟，10投5中，得到11分、5个篮板和5次助攻。

篮网队九场比赛的滑坡使他们在选秀乐透榜上与印第安纳步行者队并列第二位。他们仅落后榜首萨克拉门托国王队 1.5 个胜场。

布鲁克林队周四将有机会在卡塞亚中心与迈阿密队复赛。

在波特替補上場期間，兩人多次交談。

「我希望麥克和第一支球隊能夠盡可能努力地比賽，」費爾南德斯在談到他拉下波特的決定時說道。 「我想挑戰他們做到這一點，因為我見過他們這樣做，尤其是在防守端。如果發生這種情況，我可以忍受發生的任何事情。如果是這樣，那麼你就是無私的，你是在為球隊效力，並且只會有好事發生。我試圖以不同的方式挑戰每個人。”

波特是本賽季初 NBA 效率最高的得分手之一，在前 38 場比賽中場均 25.6 分，投籃命中率為 0.482/0.398/0.851。

小邁克爾波特，新秀控球後衛掙扎，籃網連續九場失利

許多人預計波特上半場的表現將使他首次入選全明星，他承認這激勵了他。然而，自從受到冷落以來，這位27歲的球員的作品已經斷崖式下跌。

在過去的11場比賽中，波特場均得到19.2分，投籃命中率為40.8%，三分球命中率為23.5%（85投20中）。在此期間，他的淨評級為-21.5，而之前的淨評級為-1.5。

雖然波特表現很糟糕，但布魯克林新秀控球後衛歷史上糟糕的表現同樣令人沮喪。由於葉戈爾·德明缺陣，諾蘭·特拉奧雷和本·薩拉夫在三個季度中各自貢獻了零助攻和六次失誤。

熱火隊在三節比賽中以 16 比 6 的比分憑藉失誤戰勝籃網隊，建立起永不回頭的領先優勢。

“[Nolan and Ben] 需要成長。他們需要成長、觀察並從中學習，」費爾南德斯說。「而且我知道他們會更好。如果他們還年輕，這不是藉口。我看過他們的比賽，他們比 12 次失誤和 0 次助攻好得多。他們如何組織團隊、如何發聲，這一切都很重要。 」

諾亞克勞尼是周二佈魯克林唯一的亮點之一。這位三年級前鋒8投4中、罰球9中8拿下17分和7個籃板。丹尼沃爾夫替補出場20分鐘，10投5中，得到11分、5個籃板和5次助攻。

籃網隊九場比賽的滑坡使他們在選秀樂透榜上與印第安納步行者隊並列第二位。他們僅落後榜首薩克拉門托國王隊 1.5 場勝差。

布魯克林隊週四將有機會在卡塞亞中心與邁阿密隊複賽。

「老實說，這很艱難。不斷的損失，很難保持良好的能量。但這就是我們必須要做的，」克拉克斯頓說。 “我們玩 [Miami] 幾天後，我們必須努力找到好的能量，尤其是出現的能量，這樣我們就不會被打到嘴巴。 」

Former Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors star Jonte Porter is attempting to return to professional basketball in 2024 after being handed a lifetime ban by the NBA. Porter is accused of “disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting their participation in one or more sports for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games.” Porter last played for the Raptors 905 in the NBA G League.

Jonte Porter is signing with the Seattle Superhawks of the United States Basketball League and will play for them next month.

However, according to a post on X by ClutchPoints, Porter is currently signing for the Seattle Super Hawks of the newly rebooted United States Basketball League while awaiting sentencing. The 26-year-old player, whose request to play professionally in Greece was previously denied by a federal judge, is expected to make the team’s debut in the March 7 season opener against the Lilac City Legends at Seattle Pacific University.

The revived USBL, an eight-team West Coast league that pays homage to the original 1984-2008 circuit that launched the careers of players like Muggsy Boggs, appears to be the new landing spot for Porter. In April 2024, the league banned him permanently after an investigation revealed shocking compromises with the integrity of the game.

While playing on a two-way contract for the Toronto Raptors, Porter intentionally limited his playing time in two different competitions in order to manipulate the results of illegal prop bets. Court documents further detail that he messaged co-conspirators between games to coordinate the scheme and personally placed illegal bets on 13 NBA matchups, netting $22,000 in winnings.

Prior to his ban, Porter, the younger brother of Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr., recorded a total of 37 NBA appearances between the Memphis Grizzlies and Raptors, posting modest career averages of 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. In July 2024, Porter pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

While the charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, he will most likely receive a sentence of three to four years.

當小邁克爾·波特不在他的頂級比賽中時，布魯克林籃網隊就沒有機會。波特上個月的低迷表現說明了他對球隊競爭能力的重要性。

這位身高 6 英尺 10 的神槍手是 NBA 上半賽季最高效的得分手之一，在他的前 38 場比賽中，場均投籃命中率為 48/40/85，得到 25.6 分。然而，在全明星冷落之後，他的表現明顯降溫，在過去七場比賽中，他場均得到 19.0 分，投籃命中率為 40.5%，三分球命中率為 18.2%（55 投 10 分）。

籃網隊在此期間戰績為 1 勝 6 負，對手得分高出他們 89 分。

「自從我記事以來，我的投籃從未感覺如此糟糕，」波特在周二以 123-114 輸給達拉斯小牛隊的比賽中三分球 6 投 2 中後說道。 「在過去的四、五場比賽中，我感覺自己已經不在狀態了。但這就是當你失去節奏，並且一段時間不打球時會發生的情況。非籃球運動員不明白，在兩三天不打球的情況下，你真的會失去時機和手感。所以不打球 [in the last two games] 全明星賽前，然後在全明星賽期間很少去健身房，我想我正在為此付出代價。 」

小邁克爾波特表示，在全明星賽前缺席比賽並且在休息期間沒有去健身房後，他感覺失去了節奏：

「自從我記事以來，我的投籃從未感覺如此糟糕。在過去的四、五場比賽中，我感覺自己剛剛表現不佳。但這就是…… pic.twitter.com/wkAVry3I11

— 艾瑞克‧斯萊特 (@erikslater_) 2026 年 2 月 25 日

雖然波特指出他的長期休息是他投籃下降的原因，但他在全明星賽前的最後兩場比賽中也表現不佳。這位前丹佛金塊隊球星在輸給洛杉磯湖人隊和奧蘭多魔術隊的兩場比賽中，16投2中，三分球拿下30分。

小邁克爾波特在籃網連敗中三分命中

考慮到波特的投籃飲食的困難，他在賽季前半段的精英投籃尤其令人印象深刻。在他的前 38 場比賽中，這位 27 歲的球員以 205 次激烈競爭（2-4 英尺空間）三分球出手數領先全聯盟，比第二名的詹姆斯·哈登（152 次）多 53 次，比第三名的鄧肯·羅賓遜（97 次）多 108 次。他的成功率為 36.1%。

然而，在過去七場比賽中，波特在競爭激烈的三分球中24投僅3中（12.5%）。在此期間，他在空位三分球（4-6英尺的空間）上23投4中（17.4%），在大空位三分球（6+英尺的空間）上7投2中。

雖然這樣的倒退並不完全令人驚訝，但這對籃網隊來說是不利的，籃網隊的主要創造者是新秀諾蘭·特拉奧雷和葉戈爾·德明。布魯克林在過去九場比賽中的進攻效率為 NBA 最差的（105.0）。

「我不認為球隊在做任何不同的事情。每次他投籃時，我都認為球會進，」喬迪·費爾南德斯談到波特的掙扎時說道。 「過去幾場比賽，他在完成切入和給籃框施加壓力方面做得很好。他沒有看到那麼多球進入，但他讓球飛起來，投籃將會進入……顯然， [opposing teams] 讓最好的防守者來對付他，有時甚至是多個球員，但他們以前就這麼做過。當他看到面前的人時，他必須繼續投籃，繼續完成切入，拉開空間並做出正確的比賽。我一點也不擔心。 」

波特的投籃低迷可能會間接使布魯克林受益。

在經歷了五連敗之後，籃網在選秀樂透榜上排名第三。他們在勝場上與印第安納溜馬並列，在負場上兩隊落後，後者排名第二。如果賽季今天結束，布魯克林隊、印第安納隊和薩克拉門托國王隊將分別擁有獲得第一順位（14.0％）或進入前四名（52.1％）的最佳機會。

雖然選秀位置將是剩下的籃網隊的主要故事情節，但波特表示球隊還有很多事情要做。

「這是我經歷過的新情況，但沒有一場籃球比賽是毫無意義的。這都是旅程的一部分，」他說。 「這支球隊，我們不僅僅著眼於今年，我們還著眼於未來一年、兩年、三年、四年、五年的整體計劃和目標。所有這些比賽對於我們的成長、連續性和化學反應都很重要。有時很難專注於這一點，但我們必須每天努力工作，並意識到這是一個更大的願景。歸根結底，我們正在打籃球，這是一項我們都喜歡打籃球的運動」。

密尔沃基雄鹿队正在扭转局面，至少从主教练道格·里弗斯的角度来看是这样，他们在二月份到目前为止已经取得了 7 胜 3 负的战绩。状态的好转可能会燃起一点希望，他们或许可以在最后时刻争夺参加锦标赛的席位——正好赶上扬尼斯·阿德托昆博最终从小腿伤势中恢复过来。

周三晚上，雄鹿队有一个绝佳的机会来延续他们最近的稳定表现，因为他们面对的是克利夫兰骑士队，在背靠背的第一场比赛中，多诺万·米切尔、埃文·莫布里和詹姆斯·哈登轮流休息。即使没有这三人，骑士队仍然是一支危险的球队，但雄鹿队正在奋力拼搏，小凯文·波特竭尽全力让球队清醒过来。

At least from head coach Doc Rivers’ perspective, the Milwaukee Bucks are on a turn, and they’ve gone 7-3 so far in the calendar month of February. This uptick in form may offer a little hope that, perhaps, they can make a run for a late tournament playoff spot – just in time for Giannis Antetokounmpo’s eventual return from a calf injury.

On Wednesday night, the Bucks had a golden opportunity to build on their solid performance as they faced a Cleveland Cavaliers team that rested Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and James Harden in the first night of a back-to-back set. And while the Cavs remain a dangerous team even without those three, the Bucks are fighting an uphill battle, with Kevin Porter Jr. doing everything he can to spark his team.

With the Bucks still leading in the third quarter, Porter got a step on a guy with the same surname as Craig Porter Jr., causing the Cavs defense to go into scramble mode. With Porter in over his head, it was too late for Jarrett Allen to try to compete brutal sting From the Bucks guard, who fired up the crowd at Fiserv Forum.

Bucks continue to punch up weight class amid Giannis injury

This is the Bucks second night of a back-to-back, which wasn’t too obvious considering how high Porter jumped over Allen for that poster. Last night, Milwaukee swept the Miami Heat, using an 11-0 run at the end of the game to blow away the Eastern Conference team that is currently eighth in the standings.

Now, the Bucks are currently facing off with the Cavs, which is a testament to their resiliency and excellent conditioning levels. At the time of writing, the game is tied, and anything can still happen in the final few minutes.

There are conflicts at the end of the game, and then a complete meltdown. The Brooklyn Nets fell into the latter category during Sunday’s 115-104 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Jordi Fernandez’s team looked in control after taking a 102-91 lead with eight minutes remaining. The Hawks defeated the Nets 24–2 to end the game during their worst collapse of the season.

Brooklyn shot 1 of 15 from the field with five turnovers during the decisive period of the game.

“Unacceptable,” Fernandez said. “We played well, a very good brand of basketball, staying connected, defending, taking the lead as a team with the first and second groups… but we have to find a better way to close out games. I have confidence in the starters. I know how good they are, and that’s not what I want from them. We played a very good game until 5:30, and then it goes away. So, it’s tough because wins matter in the NBA. You have to compete and play to win. “It happens, and it didn’t happen.”

After a solid start, Brooklyn’s rookie backcourt of Nolan Traore and Egor Demin has struggled. However, Sunday’s collapse highlighted the late-game shortcomings of Michael Porter Jr. as the Nets’ No. 1 option.

Michael Porter Jr. disappeared during Nets vs. Hawks horror collapse

Porter posted 18 points on 8 of 16 shooting with six assists and two turnovers in three quarters. However, he was invisible in the final frame, going scoreless on 0-of-3 shooting with no assists as rookies Demin and Traoré handled most of Brooklyn’s on-ball responsibilities.

Meanwhile, Hawks star Jalen Johnson took the lead down the stretch, scoring 14 of his 26 points in the final frame on 6-of-8 shooting.

While Porter has long fueled the Nets’ offense, he has struggled as a closer. In 65 clutch minutes this season, the star forward has shot 12-of-38 (31.6 percent) from the field and 4-of-24 (16.7 percent) with two assists and four turnovers.

Porter’s limitations as a ball-handler and self-creator have been most apparent during tight games, when defenses are most busy and primarily switching. Without a high-level shot creator behind them, Brooklyn’s offense has fallen short when it matters most.

The Nets have posted the league’s worst clutch record (5-19) and second-worst clutch offensive rating (96.0).

After encouraging early performances, Traore and Demin also lost on Sunday. Over the course of three quarters, Traoré scored 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting with five assists and two turnovers. Demin had 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting with four assists and zero turnovers.

However, the rookie duo shot 0 of 7 while committing four turnovers in the final frame.

“You go through experience, and you learn,” Fernandez said of Traore and Demin’s late struggles. “Some rushed shots and turnovers… you’ve got to learn how to stay composed. You’ve got to learn how to get everybody involved [the right] Locations, how to take good shots, and we didn’t do that. So that’s the next game.”

While Sunday’s loss undoubtedly stung Brooklyn’s locker room, it continued the team’s lead in a tightly contested tank race. After four consecutive losses, the Nets have regained sole possession of third place in the draft lottery standings. They are tied in the win column and two games behind the Indiana Pacers in the loss column, who are in second place.

If the season ended today, Brooklyn would have a 14.0 percent chance of finishing No. 1, a 52.1 percent chance of finishing in the top four, and a 93.0 percent chance of finishing in the top six. The third lottery slot cannot fall below the seventh pick.

The Brooklyn Nets will have Michael Porter Jr. and Igor Demin available for the first time in a back-to-back in more than two months on Friday. Neither Porter nor Demin appeared on Brooklyn’s injury report ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both played during Thursday’s 112-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Nets have carefully managed the workloads of Porter and Demin this season. No one has come forward since the beginning of December.

Porter has suffered numerous back injuries throughout his career and suffered a “minor” MCL sprain earlier this season. Meanwhile, Damien missed most of the offseason due to a torn plantar fascia.

Michael Porter Jr. and Igor Demin available for back-to-back for first time in several months

Porter and Demin’s light workloads on Thursday after extended layoffs during the All-Star break likely played a role in their availability on Friday. The former played only 20 minutes, while Demin played 26 minutes during a wire-to-wire blowout loss in Cleveland.

Brooklyn will face an Oklahoma City team that is without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain), Jalen Williams (right hamstring strain) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominal strain/left ankle sprain).

The Nets will be without Nick Claxton, who is out after spraining his right ankle during practice on Wednesday. Ziare Williams will also be unable to participate in the game due to personal reasons.

After Thursday’s loss, the Nets are tied with the Washington Wizards for fourth place in the draft lottery standings. They are tied in the win column and twice behind the Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans in the loss column, who are in second place.

周五，布鲁克林篮网队将让小迈克尔·波特和叶戈尔·德明在背靠背比赛中上场，这是两个多月以来的首次。在周五与俄克拉荷马雷霆队的比赛之前，波特和德明都没有出现在布鲁克林的伤病报告中。两人都在周四 84-112 输给克利夫兰骑士队的比赛中出场。

篮网队本赛季谨慎地管理了波特和德明的工作量。自 12 月初以来，两人都没有连续出现过。

波特在他的职业生涯中经历过多次背部伤病，并在本赛季早些时候遭受了“轻微”的内侧副韧带扭伤。与此同时，德明因足底筋膜撕裂缺席了休赛期的大部分时间。

小迈克尔·波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 和叶戈尔·德明 (Egor Demin) 数月来首次背靠背比赛

波特和德明在全明星周末期间长时间休息后，周四的工作量较小，这可能是他们周五能否上场的原因之一。前者在克利夫兰的线对线惨败中只打了20分钟，而德明则打了26分钟。

布鲁克林队将面对缺少谢伊·吉尔吉斯-亚历山大（腹部拉伤）、贾伦·威廉姆斯（右腿筋拉伤）和阿贾伊·米切尔（腹部拉伤/左脚踝扭伤）的俄克拉荷马城队。

尼克·克拉克斯顿(Nic Claxton)将缺席篮网队，他在周三的训练中扭伤右脚踝后缺席比赛。齐艾尔·威廉姆斯也因个人原因缺席本场比赛。

周四失利后，篮网队与华盛顿奇才队并列乐透选秀榜第四位。他们在胜场上与印第安纳步行者队和新奥尔良鹈鹕队并列第二，在输球场上落后两支。

小邁克爾波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 擔心他的 NBA 職業生涯在開始之前就已經結束了。由於背傷缺席了整個新秀賽季，這位當時的丹佛金塊隊前鋒在 2019 年休賽期的 NBA 球員峰會上犯了一個他認為致命的錯誤。

波特在一次會議期間不小心在他的 Snapchat 故事中發布了 NBA 總裁亞當蕭華的電話號碼。聯盟並沒有善待他的愚蠢錯誤。

「老實說，我以為我要退出 NBA，」波特在《老人與三人組》播客上說道。 「他們把我拉進辦公室，問我，『你洩漏了亞當·西爾弗的電話號碼？』我說，『什麼？ 「我檢查了我的 Snapchat 故事，發現它有 500 張螢幕截圖。我當時想，「哦，天啊。 「所以我想我會被踢出聯盟。所以我想，『拜託，我會上台道歉。』所以他們讓我走到所有這些人面前，天哪，那確實是我一生中最尷尬的時刻。”

值得慶幸的是，波特的道歉就足夠了，聯盟沒有驅逐他。

籃網隊前鋒小邁克爾·波特在經歷了職業生涯早期的多次恐慌後取得了成功

儘管困難重重，這位 27 歲的球員還是開創了非常成功的 NBA 職業生涯。由於背部受傷需要手術，波特在選秀中落到第14順位，在金塊選中他後，波特又接受了兩次手術。然而，他近年來恢復了健康，在過去四個賽季的大部分時間裡都保持著可用狀態和效率。

波特在金塊隊 2023 年奪冠期間發揮了關鍵作用。在為球隊效力的最後三個賽季中，他參加了 246 場常規賽中的 220 場比賽，場均得到 17.4 分，投籃命中率為 0.492/0.401/0.795。

這位身高 6 英尺 10 的神槍手在被交易到布魯克林籃網隊後，打出了本賽季最令人印象深刻的一個賽季。

小邁克爾·波特透露，由於過去兩週的產量下降，他一直在膝蓋受傷的情況下打球。這位布魯克林籃網隊前鋒表示，他在 1 月 7 日輸給奧蘭多魔術隊的比賽中內側副韌帶扭傷。

“事實上，我當時正在處理內側副韌帶問題，在對陣奧蘭多的比賽中扭傷了……我的膝蓋有點酸痛，所以我在一些動作上沒有那麼爆發力來讓自己保持開放。情況正在好轉，”波特告訴《紐約郵報》的布萊恩·劉易斯。

波特在受傷後結束了魔術隊的失利，並且沒有出現在網隊下一場比賽的傷病報告中。這位27歲的球員在布魯克林隊過去的七場比賽中打了五場，在兩場背靠背比賽的前場休息。

本賽季他還沒有參加過背靠背的比賽。

波特本賽季一直是 NBA 最高效的得分手之一。然而，他的產出和效率在受傷後有所下降。

這位身高6英尺10英寸的神槍手在過去五場比賽中場均得到23.0分、6.8個籃板、3.0次助攻和3.2次失誤，投籃命中率為43.3%，三分球命中率為33.3%。布魯克林在這些比賽中戰績為 1-4。

儘管如此，喬迪·費爾南德斯 堅持認為 如果波特沒有身體能力，他就不會參加比賽。

“他有些不舒服，但他繼續打球。他一直打到底，”費爾南德斯說。 “我們重視球員的健康，如果有什麼原因導致他不能參加比賽，我們會盡一切努力解決這個問題。但他已經參加了比賽，所以我認為我對此沒有什麼可說的。”

波特作為布魯克林第一選擇的突破性賽季使他即將首次入選全明星。這也使他在 2 月 5 日截止日期之前成為交易市場上的頂級球員。

布魯克林籃網隊在上一場比賽中剛剛擊敗了芝加哥公牛隊，這要歸功於小邁克爾·波特投中致勝一球。籃網隊還有一次擊敗公牛隊的機會，但這一次，他們不會和波特一起，因為他因休息而被排除在外。

波特是籃網隊本賽季迄今為止最好的球員，但自年初以來已經缺席了幾場比賽，許多人認為球隊正在盡力防守。他們是聯盟中戰績最差的球隊之一，如果波特繼續保持高水平，他們要做的就是繼續獲勝。

籃網隊也可能試圖讓波特保持新鮮感，因為他可能會出現在交易市場上，因為球隊似乎正在呼籲他。

最近對波特感興趣的球隊之一是密爾沃基雄鹿隊，他們一直在與揚尼斯·阿德托昆博一起尋找得分幫助。籃網隊將尋找年輕球員和資產，而目前雄鹿隊只能提供其中之一。不幸的是，在過去幾個賽季試圖改善球隊之後，他們並沒有太多的選秀權，如果有的話，他們是和其他球隊一樣急需資產的球隊。

金州勇士隊是另一支似乎對波特感興趣的球隊，隨著喬納森·庫明加提出交易，他們也許能夠做出一些事情。

與此同時，籃網可能願意堅持交易波特，如果​​​​他們希望在不久的將來具有競爭力，他可能會成為核心的重要組成部分。你能做的重建是有限的，籃網隊不想永遠陷入墊底。

週二晚上，在沒有尼古拉·約基奇的情況下，丹佛掘金隊再次打出精彩表現，以 120-116 來之不易的客場戰胜新奧爾良鵜鶘隊。他們是在小邁克爾·波特（Michael Porter Jr.）的友好面孔面前這樣做的，小邁克爾·波特當時正在冰沙國王中心（Smoothie King Center）支持他的前東家布魯克林籃網隊（他現在的雇主），該隊將於週三晚上對陣鵜鶘隊。

掘金隊在佩頓·沃森的突破中遇到了一個很好的問題

沃森的出色表現讓他成為了掘金隊前進的必由之路。唉，他們的薪金表很快就會變得非常擁擠，克里斯蒂安·布勞恩 (Christian Braun) 為期五年、價值 1.25 億美元的續約合同將於下賽季初開始生效。

掘金隊需要做出一些艱難的決定，因為沃森將在這個休賽期成為受限制自由球員。本賽季他比布勞恩和卡姆·約翰遜都要好得多，所以他應該得到豐厚的報酬。然而問題是，掘金隊是否有足夠的空間來支付讓他在虛線上簽約所需的費用？
