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 Friday night. This setback comes as Porter was recovering from a sprained left ankle sustained during the first quarter of the Bucks’ season-opening victory against the Washington Wizards on October 22, 2025.
Porter, who started the season as the team’s point guard, suffered the knee injury while working out on the court on Thursday. Last season, he averaged 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 30 games following his acquisition at the trade deadline.
In light of Porter’s absence, Ryan Rollins has stepped up as the Bucks’ starting point guard. Rollins has been on fire, setting a career-high in scoring in consecutive games, currently averaging 18.6 points and 5.0 assists while shooting an impressive 52%. The Bucks will rely heavily on Rollins as they aim to maintain momentum in the early part of the season.
This injury marks a significant blow for the Bucks, who are looking to build on their strong start. Fans and analysts will be closely watching how Rollins performs in the upcoming games and how the team adapts without Porter.
As the situation develops, updates will continue to emerge regarding Porter’s recovery timeline and the Bucks’ performance. Fans are urged to stay tuned for the latest news and updates on this unfolding story.
