To punch a ticket to the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors had to close out the Memphis Grizzlies without a key veteran off the bench in Game 6.
After an early exit in Game 5, Otto Porter Jr. was ruled out for Game 6 against the Grizzlies due to soreness in his right foot. Despite Porter Jr.’s absence, the Warriors were still able to seal a victory over the Grizzlies to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Following a few days off before the start of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, Porter Jr. could be close to returning to the rotation.
