Michael Porter Jr. delivered his best performance of the 2025-26 campaign on 30 Jan 2026, yet the Brooklyn Nets still lost to a short-handed Denver Nuggets squad.
The forward’s season-high effort provided most of Brooklyn’s offense, but Denver—despite missing several regular contributors—maintained a slim advantage late and closed out the game.
The defeat keeps the Nets looking for answers as the regular season moves into its second half, while the undermanned Nuggets leave with an unexpected victory.
