The chatter around Michael Porter Jr.’s dating has been buzzing more than ever right now. In a recent story that he later deleted, the Brooklyn Nets forward appeared to be spending time with someone special. However, the face of that special beau of MPJ was never seen. While omission fuelled curiosity, fans were quick to notice a butterfly tattoo on the person’s left arm. The image may have quickly disappeared from MPJ’s story, but screenshots have been making rounds on X.
Fans believe the person with Porter Jr. is none other than hip-hop artist Ice Spice, who sports a similar butterfly tattoo on her left arm. Additionally, the timing of this post is apt, as the rapper was spotted earlier this season sitting courtside at Barclays Centre.

However, as the buzz remains alive, fans are in a frenzy about this latest dating rumor alive in the hoops community right now.
Michael Porter Jr. Carried Nets’ Defense to a Win at Philly
Michael Porter Jr. went off for the Brooklyn Nets, leading a 114-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, fueled by a historic 25-point first half. Despite a cold 0-for-7 start for the team, Porter caught fire early, scoring 12 of the Nets’ first 15 points and finishing the half with five triples. His game-high 28-point performance not only steadied a back-and-forth contest but also bolstered his case for a potential first All-Star selection, proving vital as Brooklyn navigated early momentum shifts at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
While Porter provided the offensive explosion, the Nets’ defense secured the win by holding Philadelphia to just 40.7% shooting and forcing 17 turnovers. Outside of Joel Embiid’s 19 first-half points, the 76ers struggled to find a rhythm, shooting a combined 34.5% as Brooklyn’s starters locked down the perimeter. The victory marks a significant milestone for head coach Jordi Fernández, as the 9-19 Nets secured their second consecutive win and continued a defensive surge that has defined their play throughout December.
