Overview
- Milwaukee said Porter tore the meniscus in his right knee during Thursday’s return-to-play training and will have a minor orthopedic procedure.
- The team announced the update Friday night and set an estimated recovery timeline of approximately four weeks without a firm return date.
- Porter has been out since spraining his left ankle in the Oct. 22 season opener against the Wizards, where he exited after nine minutes.
- He entered the season with expectations to handle primary ballhandling after Damian Lillard was waived, following averages of 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season.
- With Porter sidelined, Ryan Rollins delivered 32 points and 8 assists in a 120–110 win over the Warriors on Thursday, reinforcing a shift in backcourt responsibilities.
