Sticking with Bucks Porter agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract with the Bucks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Porter declined his $2.5 million player option Saturday, but he'll hang around in Milwaukee after inking a two-year deal Monday. The 24-year-old stepped into a bigger role when Damian Lillard (Achilles) was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in late March, and Porter closed out the campaign averaging 14.1 points, 5.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.7 minutes across his final 17 games (12 regular season, five playoff). With Lillard slated to miss most, if not all, of next season, Porter should be penciled in as Milwaukee's starting point guard.

Set to enter free agency Porter informed the Bucks on Saturday that he will decline his $2.5 million player option for the 2025-26 season, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter signed a two-year contract with the Clippers in June of 2024 but was traded the Bucks in February. He saw a consistent role off the Bucks' bench, and across 30 regular-season games (two starts) he averaged 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals over 19.9 minutes per game. Porter is just 25 years old and should garner interest from teams looking to add a scoring punch to its bench.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly open-minded to possibly leaving Bucks

Scores 11 in start Porter closed with 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 47 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game...

Impact With Damian Lillard (Achilles) on the shelf, Porter was inserted into the starting lineup as part of several rotation tweaks by coach Doc Rivers, and for the most part, he had a decent showing alongside AJ Green in the backcourt. Porter holds a $2.55 million player option for 2025-26, and he could find himself with a lot of fantasy upside if he sticks around with the Bucks in the absence of Lillard.

Starting Game 5 Porter will start in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

Impact Porter has come off the bench for the first four games of the series but will enter the starting lineup with Damian Lillard (achilles) out. The 24-year-old has played significant minutes against the Pacers, averaging 25.8 minutes along with 11.3 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game in the series.

Impact Porter led Milwaukee's second unit in points during the loss, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer. The 24-year-old played a series-high 33 minutes after Damian Lillard (lower leg) exited the game in the first quarter. With the Bucks trailing 3-1, they'll need Porter to step up, especially if Lillard remains sidelined. Porter has averaged 11.3 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 25.8 minutes per game during the first round.

Impact Porter was a bright spot off the bench for Milwaukee, but saw a total of just 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Gary Trent logged 30 minutes off the bench but had four points on 1-of-4 shooting. With the Bucks trailing 0-2, it will be interesting to see what tweaks coach Doc Rivers will make to his rotation.

Impact Porter will join five other Bucks players on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he should be available for the start of the postseason. Jamaree Bouyea and Andre Jackson should see a significant increase in playing time in Porter's absence.

Unlikely to play Sunday Porter is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to a right wrist sprain.

Impact Porter joins a long list of Milwaukee players expected to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale. If Porter is ultimately downgraded to out, Ryan Rollins (shoulder) and Jamaree Bouyea are candidates to receive increased playing time.
