Kevin Porter Jr. has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The injury had bothered him since the opening game, cutting short a strong campaign in which he averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds. The Bucks said the procedure was performed in Vail by Dr. Tom Hackett. Coach Doc Rivers explained Porter never fully recovered after hurting the knee eight minutes into the first game, while also praising the guard for fighting through pain and producing a very good season.

While rehabbing a left ankle sprain from opening night, Porter sustained a right knee meniscus injury during return-to-play work. He’ll have a minor orthopedic procedure and is expected to miss about four weeks. Milwaukee will lean on guard depth and stagger Giannis-initiated offense when available. Replace secondary creation with Rollins/Anthony reps, simplify pick-and-roll packages, and cap non-star minutes spikes to manage fatigue. Medical plan emphasizes swelling control, quad activation, and gradual reintroduction to basketball loads.
