Ice Spice was dancing on a TikTok video with Michael Porter Jr

With the trade deadline fast approaching, Nets star Michael Porter Jr is remains one of the hottest trade targets around the league. But despite all the talks, it seems like he’s winning off the court with his supposed relationship with Ice Spice.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr’s name may be linked to several teams ahead of the trade deadline, but that’s not even the hottest news he’s involved in right now.

For contenders seeking an additional boost to the upper echelon, MPJ might be the best option for an upgrade. He’s been stellar for the Nets this season, averaging 26-7-3 splits on a nightly basis. Whether he’s going to be traded or not is a huge question, as Brooklyn has not formally dangled him in trade talks.

However, it’s not just on the NBA court that Porter is winning. He’s also winning off of it. In a recent video posted on TikTok by American rapper and songwriter Ice Spice, it looks like she and Michael Porter Jr are getting comfortable with each other’s company.

While MPJ’s face wasn’t revealed, fans were quick to say that the man behind Ice Spice was the Nets’ star. How did they know? Well, Michael Porter Jr’s wrist tattoo gave it all away. Cannot escape the internet’s desire to dig for subtle clues.

Despite playing at an all-star level, the Brooklyn Nets continue to struggle on the court. They are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, and reaching the play-in isn’t realistic at this point.

So, will they entertain the idea of trading MPJ ahead of the trade deadline? The Nets have been mum about it. However, a report from an NBA insider suggests that it’s a ‘lock’ that the young star would be traded in February.

On a contending team, Michael Porter Jr could realistically become the second or third option. He has already gone that route before during the Denver Nuggets’ 2023 title-winning run.
