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

Will play against Pacers Porter (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Porter is one of several players who were listed as game-time decisions for Saturday's contest, but the floor general will suit up and should see his regular role off the bench. Porter has been operating as the Bucks' backup point guard behind Damian Lillard.

Likely to play against Indiana Porter is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Despite dealing with a sprained left ankle, Porter isn't expected to miss Saturday's contest. If Porter is ultimately upgraded to available, he will likely continue to operate as MIlwaukee's backup point guard to Damian Lillard (groin).

Goes for 22 points off bench Porter amassed 22 points (5-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 17 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Porter was one of four Milwaukee players who scored in double digits in this 20-point win over the Lakers, but he was the only one who achieved this feat while coming off the bench. Porter, who notched a triple-double as recently as the win over Dallas on March 5, has been providing solid numbers off the bench of late. He's scored in double digits in five of his last seven contests off the bench.

Posts rare triple-double in victory Porter recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 14 assists and one ste eal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 win over the Mavericks.

Impact The Bucks gave the backups extra time during the decisive win, and Porter delivered the third triple-double of his career in the process. He delivered the other triple-doubles during his three-year tenure with Houston, and is making an impact since moving over to Milwaukee after a short stint with the Clippers.

Another double-digit scoring effort Porter notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 victory over Miami.

Impact Porter continues to serve as a spark plug off the bench, having now reached double-digit scoring figures in four straight games. Over five games since heading to Milwaukee, the 24-year-old guard has averaged 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 16.8 minutes while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor. Porter could have some streaming appeal on nights where the Bucks are missing some of their key players, but he might be hard-pressed to receive minutes in the 20s while the team is healthy.

Not listed on injury report Porter (trade pending) isn't listed on Milwaukee's injury report for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Impact After missing two games while his trade from the Clippers to the Bucks was properly processed, Porter appears ready to suit up for Milwaukee. He's not guaranteed playing time, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, plenty of minutes will be available Sunday.

Won't debut Friday Porter (trade pending) is out for Friday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Porter was traded from the Clippers to the Bucks on Thursday but won't be able to make his debut Friday as the deal is still being finalized. When the 24-year-old guard is able to suit up, he will likely compete for backup point guard minutes behind Damian Lillard. Porter's next chance to take the floor is Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Traded to Bucks Porter was traded from the Clippers to the Bucks on Thursday for MarJon Beauchamp, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Beauchamp wasn't part of Milwaukee's future plans, so the organization moved him for backcourt talent. Porter was playing a bench role for the Clippers and will most likely continue doing so for the Bucks. In 19.6 minutes per game, he's averaging 9.3 points on 42/25/65 shooting, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals.

Chips in 17 points off bench Sunday Porter registered 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 115-108 loss to Toronto.

Impact Porter provided a spark off the bench Sunday that helped the Clippers stay within striking distance. It was the just the second time in his last 10 outings that he's reached double-digit points and he finished as the Clippers' third-leading scorer behind James Harden (25) and Ivica Zubac (18). Porter will look to build off his strong performance into Tuesday's battle of Los Angeles against the Lakers.

Back to bench role Thursday Porter is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Porter ended with 26 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics, but the impressive stat line won't hand him another start. James Harden (groin) will return from a one-game absence, so Porter will return to his regular backup role in the second unit.

Shines despite loss to Boston Porter ended with 26 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Impact The Clippers started several non-regulars Wednesday since they were without James Harden (groin), Norman Powell (back) and Kris Dunn (knee), meaning Porter got the chance to play an expanded role in the backcourt. It's safe to say he didn't disappoint, finishing as one of the Clippers' leading scorers while also ending just three boards and three dimes away from a double-double. That said, Harden could return to the hardwood in the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Wizards on Thursday, meaning Porter's fantasy upside will take a severe hit if he returns to his regular bench role.

JANUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Porter is part of the first unit for Wednesday's matchup against the Celtics, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact The Clippers are without James Harden (groin), Norman Powell (back) and Kris Dunn (knee) on Wednesday, allowing for Porter to enter the first unit for the second time this season. In his last eight games, Porter has averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds spanning 18.0 minutes.

JANUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be in rotation Wednesday Porter won't be in the rotation for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact After missing all of last season due to off-court issues, Porter is slated to be phased out of Los Angeles' rotation completely Wednesday. The former first-round pick has mostly struggled in his debut season with the Clippers, shooting a career-low 24.4 percent from deep and 62.7 percent from the free-throw line across 34 appearances, and Porter is set to lose his rotation spot to Terance Mann against Brooklyn.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in loss Porter provided seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Porter's upside isn't going to be as high going forward with the Clippers slowly ramping up Kawhi Leonard. He figures to remain a key part of the offense for the second unit, however, and he's fared well over his last nine games with 10.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes off bench in return Porter registered five points (2-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 16 minutes during Monday's 116-113 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Porter returned Monday after missing Friday's contest due to an illness, coming off the bench and providing a nice boost while leading all second unit players in assists. Porter should continue to see his minute total and production increase as he gets back to full strength.
