Even though Michael Porter Jr. missed the majority of his only college season with a back injury, he's still getting interest from teams that have top selections in the draft.
The Grizzlies are "seriously considering" selecting Porter with the No. 4 overall pick, according to Sam Amick of USA Today.
Porter's injury issues could be a concern for some teams in the draft since he played only two minutes for Missouri in its season opener, but it doesn't appear to be holding back the Grizzlies from expressing interest in the 6-10 forward.
Amick reported earlier this week that "there's a very real chance" the Kings would take Porter with the No. 2 pick, although they wanted more intel on how he's doing medically.
The Athletic also reported, citing unidentified league sources, that the Grizzlies are exploring trade options for the No. 4 pick that would include shopping Chandler Parsons, who has missed 94 games over the past two seasons to injuries.
The 2018 NBA Draft is set for June 21 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
