Michael Porter Jr. only played in nine games last season before back pain shut his season down. Porter underwent back surgery and was reportedly ramping up his activity late in the season.

Porter is now pain free and excited to started next season.

"I think I'm 100% at this point. It's a blessing. I feel good," Porter told NBATV. "I'm excited to get back on the court and play basketball."

Porter missed his rookie season, while recovering from back surgery while in college. After a productive second season as a reserve, he had a breakout season in his third year. Porter averaged 19 points per game on 54/45/79 shooting splits. That earned Porter a five-year, max contract extension, which starts with this upcoming season.
