Big news for the Milwaukee Bucks fans as Bobby Portis is set to return to the team on a lucrative three-year, $44 million contract, with a player option for the 2027-28 season. The deal was brokered between Portis' agent, Mark Bartelstein, and the Bucks, with Portis declining his previous player option to secure this new agreement. Despite a setback last season due to a suspension, Portis has been a key contributor off the bench for the Bucks, even finishing in the top three for Sixth Man of the Year in 2023 and 2024. His return ensures the retention of a vital piece from the 2021 championship-winning squad.
Portis, known for his energy and scoring prowess off the bench, has been a consistent performer for the Bucks over the past five seasons. Despite missing a significant portion of games last season, he still managed to put up impressive numbers, averaging 13.9 points and 8.4 rebounds in limited minutes. With Portis back in the fold, the Bucks will look to build on their recent success and maintain their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference. Fans can expect to see him continue to make an impact in crucial moments and contribute to the team's quest for future championships.
