Bobby Portis News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks are confident they can contend again as long as they can stay healthy

The Milwaukee Bucks notice they're not part of the conversation these days when people discuss potential NBA title contenders

Performs well in reserve role Portis compiled 23 points (8-9 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist across15 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Portis drilled a flurry of threes during his time on the floor and nailed all five of his attempts. He matched that feat just once last season, so although Portis can be counted on to take some shots from long range, Thursday's result was an outlier event. Portis led the team in scoring and is expected to play a sixth-man role once again this season.

Scores team-high 16 points Portis delivered 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and an assist across 14 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 120-87 preseason loss to the Pistons.

Impact Portis was efficient with his shot and made the most of his minutes out there, though it's not like he's competing for a role off the bench or anything like that heading into the 2024-25 campaign. Portis is penciled to operate as the Bucks' sixth man and plug-in starter whenever there's a frontcourt player unavailable due to his versatility on both ends of the court. He figures to see steady minutes off the bench once the Bucks open the regular season against the 76ers on Sep. 23.

Owns glass in season-ending loss Portis ended with 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes in Thursday's 120-98 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern...

Impact Portis once again dominated the glass for Milwaukee in a season-ending loss Thursday, leading all players in the contest in rebounds while ending as one of three Bucks with 20 or more points in a double-double outing. Portis stepped up nicely in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in the first-round series, posting a double-double in five of the six contests while surpassing the 20-point mark in the final two games against Indiana.

Impact Portis atoned for his ejection in Game 4, leading the Bucks to an emphatic victory. He led all scorers with 29 points, having his way on the interior against a Pacers team that looked totally out-enthused. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still on the sideline, Portis has been the primary beneficiary. Milwaukee will need for him to replicate this performance should they hope to force a Game 7.

Bobby Portis EJECTED from the game after scuffle with Andrew Nembhard 😱

APRIL 28, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Ejected Sunday Portis has been ejected from Sunday's contest against the Pacers, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Impact Portis was assessed with two technical fouls stemming from an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, disqualifying him for the remainder of the game. The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role.

Owns glass in double-double showing Portis finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal over 44 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the Easter...

Impact Portis dominated the boards in Friday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bucks with a double-double in a losing effort in overtime. Portis has stepped in nicely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continuing to miss time, recording a double-double in all three games in the quarterfinals thus far. Portis will continue to remain in the starting lineup until Antetokounmpo is able to return, but will become a key player off of Milwaukee's bench if the two-time MVP does come back for Game 4 or at some point in the series against Indiana.

Records double-double in loss Portis supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the Eastern Con...

Impact Although Portis didn't come anywhere near Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) usual production, he's doing enough to keep the interior afloat. Portis is expected to play at least one more game as Antetokounmpo's fill-in, but he'll need to keep the double-doubles coming. The Bucks' playoff fortunes will fade rapidly without a stronger response to Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner in the paint.

Double-doubles in start Portis posted 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 109-94 victory over the Pacers in Game 1 of the East...

Impact Portis remained in the starting lineup for Game 1, filling the vacant spot left by Giannis Antetkounmpo (calf). While he is certainly not a like-for-like replacement, Portis is more than capable of producing, especially on the offensive end. With Antetokounmpo likely to miss at least another game, Portis should continue to serve as the second or third option on offense for the time being.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies double-double in loss Portis had 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 113-88 loss to the Magic.

Impact Portis earned his third straight start in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), leading all Bucks in rebounds to go along with a team-high-tying point total in the lone double-double of the contest. Portis has stepped up nicely for Milwaukee to round out the regular season, posting a double-double in four of the final eight games of the year.

Good to go Portis (rest) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Portis, Brook Lopez (rest) and Khris Middleton (ankle) have all been upgraded from questionable to available, while Damian Lillard (adductor) has been downgraded to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. With Antetokounmpo out again, Portis should remain in the first unit after posting 30 points (14-18 FG), nine rebounds, five steals and three assists as a starter during Wednesday's win over Orlando.

Bobby Portis: 'How am I not Sixth Man?' The Bucks' reserve (and his teammates) makes his case While he may not have the big numbers of a typical Sixth Man winner, Portis has proven to be a valuable, steady presence off the bench.

APRIL 12, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Questionable for Friday Portis is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to rest.

Impact Portis has been anchoring the second unit all season long, but he started in Wednesday's win over the Magic, posting 30 points (14-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and five steals in 30 minutes. The Bucks might choose to rest him considering the uncertainty regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), and if that's the case, then Jae Crowder or Danilo Gallinari could be in line to see more minutes in the final two games of the regular season.

APRIL 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant as starter Portis provided 30 points (14-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and five steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-99 win over Orlando.

Impact Portis fell just short of posting a second consecutive double-double Wednesday, but he posted his third-highest scoring total of the season while also racking up a season-high five steals. The 29-year-old should continue to see increased work over the Bucks' final two regular-season games since Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out, and Portis could also see an uptick in playing time to begin the playoffs if Antetokounmpo remains sidelined.

Impact Portis will replace Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Portis tallied 27 points, seven rebounds and three steals in 36 minutes during his only other start this season.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 24 points in loss Portis closed Sunday's 122-109 loss to New York with 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes.

Impact This was a terrific showing for Portis as he continues to impress off the bench. Over his last four games, Portis has put together averages of 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes.
