BucksKevin Porter Jr. Out About Four Weeks With Right Knee Meniscus Injury

The Bucks will lean on Ryan Rollins, with support from Cole Anthony, to handle point guard minutes.

Overview

  • Milwaukee said Friday night that Porter will undergo a minor orthopedic procedure and is expected to be sidelined for roughly a month.
  • The right knee injury occurred during on-court return-to-play work as he rehabbed a left ankle sprain from the Oct. 22 season opener.
  • Porter logged 10 points in nine minutes before exiting that opener against Washington with the ankle injury.
  • He began the season as Milwaukee’s starting point guard and averaged 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 30 games for the Bucks last year.
  • Ryan Rollins has stepped into a larger role, highlighted by a 32-point, 8-assist performance in a win over Golden State, with Cole Anthony also taking on added backcourt duties.
