Stuffs stat sheet Porter generated 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and five steals across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 141-137 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Impact Porter made his return from a six-game absence due to an oblique injury, and while he came off the bench, the point guard made major contributions. He was one of six Bucks players to score 15 points, and he tied for the team high in assists. Porter's five steals tied a career high, and it was the third time he had hit the milestone in his six-year NBA career.

Available to play Porter (oblique) is available to play Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Impact Porter will shed his questionable tag and is all set to return from a six-game absence. He may face restrictions in his first game back, but his usage could be through the roof while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is on the shelf.

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.

Bucks coach Rivers says Kevin Porter Jr. 'is not going to play anytime soon' due to oblique strain

Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers says Kevin Porter Jr. is "not going to play anytime soon” from an oblique strain that made him unavailable for a Wednesday night game with the Okla...

JANUARY 22 • Associated Press

Without a timetable Doc Rivers said that Porter (oblique) won't play "any time soon," and he's without an official timetable to return.

Impact It appears that Porter is looking at a multi-game absence with this oblique injury, which should open up some minutes for Gary Trent, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony. Porter offers too much upside to cut, so managers should just tuck him away in an injury reserve spot.

Ruled out with oblique strain Porter (oblique) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Porter needs to miss at least one contest to tend to an oblique strain. The combo guard's absence vacates plenty of minutes in the Milwaukee backcourt, with names like Gary Trent, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony being the most likely candidates for increased playing time.

Questionable for Wednesday Porter is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder due to an oblique strain.

Impact We'll have a better idea on Porter's status based on his activity level at Wednesday's shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up some minutes for Gary Harris and Cole Anthony would have a chance to get back into the rotation. Check back for another update on Porter closer to Wednesday's tip.

Impact Since returning to action against Brooklyn on Nov. 29, Porter had started 21 straight games, but he's been replaced by Kyle Kuzma in the first five Monday.
