From PowerMizzou:
Martin says he would be surprised if Porter plays 30 minutes. He will not start. "We'll go from there."
Martin calls Porter "a presence" on the floor.
Porter told Martin yesterday that he is for sure ready to go. Says "it had to be completely up to him. ... I didnt want him to feel any pressure."
Martin said Porter told him "coach I want to help the team."
Martin says the game reps will get Porter back to 100 percent. Says he is completely healthy.
Martin says he wants Porter to. have the same mentality when he returns that he had when he left the lineup.
Martin laughs when asked if Porter could help the team cut down on turnovers. Says Porter should help the team handle the ball.
Martin says he took the approach that Porter was not coming back when he initially got hurt. Says that was between Mike and the trainer.
Martin says he has not told the team about Porter's return yet, does not know yet if Porter has told his teammates.
