Michael Porter Jr. is finding trade rumors easier to deal with than a tweaked knee.

The Nets forward can ignore the former with faith and a social media blackout. The latter has been a little more troublesome.

With the trade deadline approaching two weeks from Thursday, Porter has been viewed as the best player likely to be available, one that could impact an NBA title chase for a contender.

As such, his name has constantly been bandied about in reports — rumors that he essentially manages to tune out.
