After Lorenzo Romar was fired as Washington 's head coach, Porter Sr. was hired as an assistant coach for the University of Missouri. Porter Jr. later decommitted from Washington. On March 24, 2017, Porter committed to play for Missouri, joining his father and his younger brother, Jontay Porter ( who reclassified from the class of 2018 ). Porter was injured in the first half of the season opener against Iowa State. Porter was expected to miss the remainder of the 2017 -- 18 season because of a lower back injury which required surgery. On November 22, 2017, Porter had a successful microdiscectomy of his L3 - L4 spinal discs. However, on February 22, 2018, Porter Jr. was cleared to practice with Missouri again, with the potential to return to play before the end of the season. NBA executives were encouraging him to play if he was feeling healthy enough to do so. Porter would officially return to action on March 8, 2018 in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament. Porter would also play in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament, where the team lost to Florida State. In both games, however, Porter came off of the bench to play instead of starting like he had on opening night, mainly as a precaution. On March 27, Porter announced his intention to forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and declared for the 2018 NBA draft. Professional career Denver Nuggets ( 2018 -- present ) On June 21, 2018, Porter was selected with the 14th overall pick by the Denver Nuggets. He fell from a possible first overall pick possibility to as low as 14th pick with the Nuggets due to reports regarding his health. The Nuggets also discussed the possibility of having him sit out for his entire first season in the NBA in relation to his back problems. On July 3, 2018, Porter signed a multi-year contract with the Nuggets.
