BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. will be sidelined for approximately four weeks due to a right meniscus injury requiring a minor orthopedic procedure, the team confirmed late Friday night. This urgent update comes as Porter was already recovering from a sprained left ankle sustained during the Bucks’ season opener on October 22, 2025.
Porter, 25, was making a strong comeback, having scored 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting before leaving the game against the Wizards. However, he suffered the knee injury during a workout on Thursday, further complicating his return to the court.
In Porter’s absence, Ryan Rollins has stepped up as the Bucks’ starting point guard. Rollins has been impressive, achieving career-high scoring in back-to-back games, averaging 18.6 points and 5.0 assists with a remarkable 52% shooting accuracy. As the team adjusts to Porter’s injury, Rollins’ performance will be crucial in maintaining their momentum.
Porter initially joined the Bucks during last season’s trade deadline, where he made an impact by averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 30 games. His absence will be felt deeply as the Bucks aim to stay competitive in the early stages of the season.
The Bucks are set to face significant challenges in the upcoming games, and fans will be watching closely to see how Rollins and the team adapt without Porter. This injury not only impacts the Bucks’ lineup but also raises questions about their strategy moving forward in the 2025 NBA season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Bucks navigate this critical moment, and fans hope for a speedy recovery for Porter. The team is expected to provide further details on his condition following the procedure.
