Overview
- The decision was reported by NBA insider Jake Fischer and published by Bleacher Report as Porter electing the $5.4 million player option for 2026-27.
- Porter’s contract with Milwaukee is a two-year, $10.5 million deal that included the one-year player option he just picked up.
- He averaged strong counting numbers last season, with about 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game while starting most of his appearances.
- Porter’s season was disrupted by a right meniscus injury in the opener, a later oblique issue, recurring knee swelling in March and an arthroscopic procedure in April that ended his season.
- Milwaukee retains a productive, cost-controlled backcourt piece who was acquired from the Clippers in a prior trade for MarJon Beauchamp and whose immediate impact will hinge on his offseason recovery and available minutes.
