While preparing for the 2018-19 season, star Mizzou F Jontay Porter tore his ACL during a scrimmage against Southern Illinois.
He missed the entire year, and it was unclear whether he was going to try to return for the 2019-20 season or test the waters in the 2019 NBA Draft, where he could have been a first-round pick like his older brother, Michael.
However, those plans took a big hit recently, as it was reported that Porter tore that same ACL again while out in Denver:

That’s obviously devastating news for Porter, who is by all accounts a great player and teammate.
Where he goes from here remains to be seen, but this is a major setback for the talented forward, whose brother is rehabbing an injury of his own for the Denver Nuggets.
