Michael Porter Jr., the greatest thing in college hoops since pickled okra, is probably gone for the season as he needs back surgery to repair a damaged disk:
Porter, a preseason All-American, will undergo a procedure called a microdiscectomy of the L3-L4 spinal discs, the team confirmed Tuesday. The expected recovery time is three to four months. That will likely cause him to miss the rest of his freshman season. Porter has played only two minutes of Mizzou’s first game on Nov. 10 and missed the last three.
That's a kick in the pants for Mizzou, but they do have some talent in Porter's borther, Jontay, and Jeremiah Tilmon (poached from TSICU), as well as grad transfer Kassius Robertson from Canisius (say that real fast 10 times!).
