In a surprising twist following his recent trade to the Brooklyn Nets, Michael Porter Jr. shared a lighthearted yet memorable farewell message he received from Nikola Jokic, his former teammate on the Denver Nuggets. During an appearance on Johnny Manziel’s podcast, “Glory Days,” Porter Jr. recounted the emotional moment when the Nuggets’ group chat erupted with messages of support, but Jokic’s stood out for its unexpected humor. “Wrap it up out there,” Jokic texted, adding a cheeky reminder to “make sure you wear a condom.”

With the NBA season heating up, all eyes will be on Porter Jr. as he seeks to make his mark in Brooklyn while cherishing the memories of his time in Denver.
