Kevin Porter Jr. won't make his official debut for his new club on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Porter was dealt from the Clippers on Thursday to the Bucks. The 24-year-old averaged 9.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 steals in 19.6 minutes per game during 45 contests in a Clippers uniform. KPJ will likely serve as the Bucks' primary backup to
Damian Lillard for the rest of this season, and he has a player option for 2025-26.
Ryan Rollins and A.J. Green will continue to play extra minutes until KPJ takes the floor for Milwaukee.

Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He's battling an illness and has been downgraded from questionable to out. As the leader of the second unit, Porter Jr. has contributed 10.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists this season.
Bones Hyland and
Jordan Miller might re-enter the rotation due to Porter Jr.'s absence, but they likely won't offer the same level of production he does.
