Porter Jr. was waived by the Jazz on Monday, and he announced his retirement about six hours later. He spent 11 years in the NBA after being drafted by the Wizards with the 3rd overall pick in 2013. He was an elite fantasy player from 2015-2019, but he hasn’t been as relevant in recent years. He won a championship with the Warriors in 2022 but only played 23 games for Toronto over the last two years since then. He didn’t make an appearance for Utah after being traded at the deadline.

OPJ never appeared in a game for Utah, so this move has no impact on fantasy hoops. It’s unlikely Porter Jr. takes the court again this season.

While Porter was made available for a potential Jazz debut on February 15 after being sidelined by a foot injury, the veteran forward did not play. His continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball, and it’s fair to wonder if Porter will see any action with the Jazz.

Porter Jr. will be available to make his debut for the Jazz on Thursday, but it isn’t clear if he’ll have a role. He isn’t a player to consider rostering in fantasy basketball.
