The 2023 NBA champion Denver Nuggets are grappling with a challenging start to the new season. After a disappointing exit in the playoffs last year, where Michael Porter Jr.’s team lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round, the Nuggets have continued to face difficulties.
The Nuggets managed to win just one of five preseason games and hold a record of 2-3 in the regular season. Their season began with two straight losses, followed by a brief resurgence with two wins before falling once again to the Timberwolves in their most recent game.

Porter Jr.’s concerns echo throughout the locker room, particularly for star center Nikola Jokic. The two-time MVP has also expressed his worries, urging the team to find solutions to their struggles soon.
Michael Porter Jr.’s Statistics This Season
Michael Porter Jr. has played in every game of the Denver Nuggets’ regular season this year. In the season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he contributed 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists, shooting 5 for 17 from the field.
