Michael Porter Jr. at peace with whatever his Net trade deadline fate is
NY Post
Despite rebuilding Brooklyn having one of the worst records in the NBA, Michael Porter Jr. says he can see light at the end of the tunnel.
But with the Trade Deadline two days away — and the tanking Nets sure to get a number of offers for their sweet-shooting forward — will Porter make it to that light? Or be dealt away beforehand?
“Yeah, I’ve stated that I’m enjoying my time here, and I do see that the light at the end of the tunnel, and I do see the path that we’re trying to take,” said Porter, who returned from a personal leave for Tuesday’s tilt vs. the Lakers. “That’s something that’s out of my control. And wherever the wind blows, whatever the guys who run the organization want, then I’m down for.
“I know that every situation has it’s blessings and things to take away from. So I’ve stated that I enjoy my time here; and two more days, if I make it through two or three more days, I’ll be here. So, we’ll see; we’ll see what happens.”
The trade deadline is 3 p.m. Thursday.
And even though the perception around the league is that Brooklyn is not shopping Porter, he’ll surely draw interest.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
