The Milwaukee Bucks waive guard Kevin Porter Jr. on Monday as the team finalizes its roster ahead of the NBA roster deadline. Reports say the move cuts the roster down to 15 players.
The decision comes after a 2025-26 season in which Porter Jr. contributed significantly when available. Outlets note he appeared in 38 games, with injuries limiting his availability. When he plays, he produces across multiple categories, including leading Milwaukee in assists per game and ranking second on the team in scoring.
The articles also frame the timing in relation to Milwaukee’s immediate plans, with the Bucks scheduled to open their season on Wednesday against Washington. While the outlets agree on the waiver and its basic context, they largely differ in emphasis—some foreground his statistical output, while others focus on the roster deadline and the size of the remaining roster.
