Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr. cleared to return to basketball activities

Missouri forward Michael Porter Jr. has been cleared to return to basketball-related activities.

While the timeline for his return to playing games for the Tigers is unknown at this point, it does appear that option is now on the table for the star freshman.

Porter has played just two minutes this season after leaving the team’s opening game against Iowa State due to injury.

Missouri has compiled an 18-10 record to this point, and according to ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, is currently slated as a No. 7 seed in NCAA Tournament projections.

The Tigers will visit Kentucky and Vanderbilt before returning home to close out the regular season against Arkansas.

The SEC Tournament takes place from March 7-11 in St. Louis.
