"Brooklyn's Michael Porter Jr. returned from illness just in time to face the team that traded him over the summer. And he made that reunion a winning one. Porter led the Nets to a 127-115 victory over the Nuggets before a sellout crowd of 17,548 at Barclays Center on Sunday. It snapped a three-game skid, and was some sweet payback for the veteran forward, who was salary dumped by Denver."
""If I would be in his shoes, I would be very excited to play this game," Jordi Fernández said beforehand of Porter, whom he spent four seasons with as a Denver assistant. "I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to go out there and perform on both ends. So it's an exciting, exciting day for all of us, especially for him.""
