Michael Porter Jr, one of the biggest promises for the 2018 NBA Draft, will undergo surgery due to a back injury.
According to the college he would be out for three or four months, something that would make him miss the remainder of the season.
As head coach Cuonzo Martin said their top priority for the program “is the well-being of our student-athletes“.
Michael Porter Jr. was just two minutes on the court in his debut for the team.
