Bucks Confirm Kevin Porter Jr. Has Successful Meniscus Surgery With Four-Week Timeline

The tear occurred Oct. 30 during return-to-play training following a left ankle sprain.

Overview

  • Porter underwent the procedure on Nov. 3 at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado, performed by Dr. Tom Hackett.
  • The Bucks say he is expected to miss roughly four weeks following the surgery and will provide updates as needed.
  • The guard first sprained his left ankle in the Oct. 22 season opener, then tore his right meniscus during his rehab work on Oct. 30.
  • He re-signed with Milwaukee on a two-year deal over the summer and was named the opening-night starter at point guard.
  • With Porter sidelined, Ryan Rollins and free-agent addition Cole Anthony have taken on larger backcourt roles as the Bucks have started 4-1.
