An MRI on the hip of likely top-seven pick Michael Porter Jr. has apparently abated short-term concerns over his health after the initial cancellation of his second pro day on Friday.

Porter Jr.'s agency, Priority Sports, called the results "an even more positive review" than a previous evaluation, according to Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.

After rumblings earlier Thursday that Porter Jr. would have to scrap the workouts due to muscle spasms in his hip, that decision has reportedly been reversed, and he could be able to reschedule his Friday workouts. Porter Jr. will reportedly undergo more testing Thursday night.

While draft pundits praise his physical gifts and skill, health continues to be a prevailing concern for Porter Jr., who made just three appearances for Missouri as a freshman this past season due to a back injury.
