Michael Porter Jr. And Brooklyn Nets In Ongoing Extension Talks Entering Camp

Extension talks between the Brooklyn Nets and Michael Porter Jr. are ongoing but lack urgency as training camp opens. Set to earn $40.8 million on an expiring deal, Porter stated he is not focused on money and hopes to lead the Nets alongside young talent. GM Sean Marks emphasized looking for consistency, leadership, and a step forward on defense from Porter, who averaged 25.6 points through January before dropping off down the stretch last season.
