The Brooklyn Nets played without forward Michael Porter Jr. in their most recent defeat after head coach Jordi Fernandez chose to give the star a night off to recover.
Fernandez said managing Porter’s workload was the priority, leading to the decision to hold him out of the contest. The Nets ultimately came up short, absorbing a loss while trying to navigate the absence of one of their primary scorers.
The coach did not indicate how long Porter might remain sidelined, but emphasized that the move was precautionary and focused on keeping the forward healthy for the long term.
Brooklyn will monitor Porter’s status ahead of its upcoming schedule as the team looks to snap its current skid.
