Portis, 30 years old, previously had an option of $ 13.4 million for the next season he refused. He was suitable for the free agency. His new contract has a player option for the 2027-28 season, according to the report.

Announcement

Portis joined the Bucks before the 2020-21 season and was a precious contribution since then, even during the race at the 2021 NBA championship. Portis has 99 departures in its five seasons with the dollars, but was mainly used as a sixth Milwaukee man.

Portis was limited to 49 games in 2024-25 mainly due to a suspension of 25 games to violate the NBA anti-drug program. The Portis agent claimed that Portis thought that he was taking the pain reliever approved Toradol, but instead he took Tramadol, who is prohibited by the League.

Portis returned before the end of the season and for the playoffs. He scored on average 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 46.6% from the floor and 36.5% from 3 as a top scorer of Milwaukee and bouncer outside the bench. He was second in the team in rebound only to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Announcement

Portis rejoices dollars in a low season of uncertainty. The All-Star Guard Damian Lillard has undergone a Achille tendon broken in the playoffs that is expected to put it on board for the most part, if not the whole season 2025-26.

Lillard’s injury has further reduced Milwaukee’s hopes to contend for next season and raised questions about the future of Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. Antetokounmpo has been the subject of voices on trade, but remains in Buck following the draft of the NBA on the eve of the start of the agency negotiations free around the League.
