Overview
- The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard Kevin Porter Jr. as part of their final roster cutdown, ending his time with the team.
- Porter Jr. is 26, entering the last year of a two‑year deal, and averaged about 17 points and seven assists last season.
- The decision reflects a crowded backcourt that has pushed the coaching staff to allocate minutes to Brayden Burries and second‑year guard Kasparas Jakucionis.
- Ryan Rollins is being viewed internally as a longer‑term point guard option and Tyler Herro’s spot is uncertain, leaving open the possibility of more moves.
- Porter Jr. is expected to become available to other teams after clearing waivers, and the change puts immediate pressure on the Bucks to finalize roles before their opener against Washington.
