The Denver Nuggets are back on the road with a two-game winning streak after one home game. While their winning streak and team camaraderie has been highly appreciated, an unfortunate incident involving their small forward has left the NBA community in disbelief. Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. was a victim of a robbery. Items such as designer bags, money, and a bible were stolen from his hotel room. Porter Jr signed a five-year $172 million rookie max extension with the Nuggets last year.

The team is yet to comment on the incident of the theft. Indianapolis police released a statement about the theft. They mentioned that the theft took place before the game and Porter Jr. was not present in the room. This news caused havoc on NBA Twitter.
