Kevin Porter Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks' upcoming Kevin Porter Jr. decision has an obvious answer The Milwaukee Bucks should keep Kevin Porter Jr. in the starting five when Giannis Antetokounmpo returns.

Triple-doubles in win Porter finished Wednesday's 116-108 victory over Orlando with 18 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 39 minutes.

Impact This marked Porter's second triple-double of the season and the fifth of his career. He appeared to tweak his right leg midway through the third quarter, but managed to play through it without heading to the locker room. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if he lands on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Thunder. Until then, managers can operate under the assumption that no news is good news.

Nearing return to action Head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that Porter (oblique) is getting close to returning and could play as soon as Wednesday against the Pelicans, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter is set to miss his sixth consecutive contest Tuesday due to a right oblique strain, though he appears to be nearing a return to action. The 25-year-old guard's eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Gary Trent and Cole Anthony.
