Summary
Michael Porter Jr.: Nuggets have 'had my back' after brother's sentencing. Coban Porter sentenced to six years in prison for a drunken driving crash that killed a woman. The sentencing Friday came just two days after another of Porter's younger brothers, Jontay Porter, was banned from the NBA amid a betting scandal. Coban Porter pleaded guilty in February to vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. Prosecutors say he was speeding at the time of the crash. He had a blood alcohol level of.19, more than twice the legal limit of.08. Porter had a strong game in the 114-103 victory over Los Angeles. Porter has been with the Nuggets since they drafted him in 2018 out of Missouri. He missed the majority of his lone season with the Tigers and his entire rookie year in Denver with back injuries. He also missed all but the first nine games of the 2021-22 season after another back issue required him to get another surgery. "It was another one of those things I had to play through," Porter said. "I've been through a lot. I've been going through a tough time." "It was just one of the things that happened," he added. "It's part of life"
