The Brooklyn Nets conducted daily training during training camp, and the team's new forward player Michael Porter Jr. was interviewed by sideline media, and he also talked about some of his previous remarks on the podcast show in the interview.

When talking about how long I can play due to the impact of injuries, Porter Jr. said: Basketball is my passion. As long as I can still play, I will continue to play, and this will not change. I want to give my all for basketball, but when the time comes, I will also examine whether my mentality has changed and re-evaluate all aspects of myself. But in my heart, I want to continue playing basketball as long as my body allows it. There is no doubt that this is true. I have experienced many injuries during my career, but in recent years I can be said to be a bit too iron-powered. I have played in most of the team's games and I have not been beaten by injuries. Porter Jr. continued: Apart from that difficult shoulder injury, I had no problems with the whole regular season and the playoffs. If I can continue to maintain this state, I will play as long as possible, at least from the current situation, I believe I can continue to stay in the NBA for a while.

In the NBA regular season last season, Porter Jr. made a total of 77 appearances for his old club, the Denver Nuggets in 82 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, averaging 18.2 points, 7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 50.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 76.8%. In the playoffs, Porter Jr. made a total of 14 appearances, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, with averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 71.4%.

In a deal this summer, the Nuggets sent forward Michael Porter Jr. and the 2032 Nuggets' unprotected first-round pick, and exchanged Johnson from the Nets. Due to the impact of injuries during the playoffs last season, Porter Jr. was also sent to the Nets by the Nuggets this summer. For Porter Jr., joining the Nets is also a huge challenge for him. If Porter Jr. cannot play well enough data in the mediocre Nets, this may also have a great impact on his future development in the NBA. Next, we can also see what kind of performance Porter Jr. can play after joining the Nets.
