Original title: Lie flat after winning the championship? Payton Jr. played only 2 games in the first half of Porter's reimbursement this season
On January 12, Beijing time, yesterday, the Raptors officially announced that the team's forward Otto Porter underwent surgery on his left foot and was reimbursed for the season.
Last offseason, Porter signed a two-year, $12.3 million contract with the Raptors, with the 2023-24 season as a player option.
Coincidentally, in addition to Porter, the other two role players who helped the Warriors win a championship last season have missed multiple games this season due to injuries after leaving the team.
So far this season, Toscano Anderson, who signed a veteran base salary with the Lakers, missed 20 games in the first half of the season due to an ankle injury, and defensive top Peyton Jr. missed 38 games with an injury and did not return until today.
Porter averaged 18.3 minutes per game before the injury, averaging 5.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1 assist; Anderson played in 21 games, averaging 2.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per game; Payton Jr. played only 2 games for the Blazers, averaging 4.5 points, 2.5 assists and 2 rebounds. （xixi）
