Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Saturday that he would be surprised if Porter (knee) played again this season, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Porter -- who was already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs -- has missed nine of the Bucks' last 12 games due to a lingering right knee injury. Given that a loss Saturday will official eliminate the Bucks from playoff contention, the Bucks won't have much reason to rush Porter back to the court while he's anything less than 100 percent. Assuming Porter's 2025-26 campaign is over, he'll finish with averages of 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes per game, with his assists and steals numbers both representing career highs. AJ Green and Gary Trent are among the players who could continue to handle increased roles in Porter's absence.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Ruled out for Saturday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Porter will be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest with a right knee issue, and he doesn't appear to have a clear timetable for a return to the floor. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also out, Ryan Rollins should continue to operate as the top point guard for the Bucks on Saturday and handle the lion's share of the playmaking responsibilities.

Porter has missed two of the past three games due to right knee synovitis, and he's in danger of sitting out a second straight game Saturday.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Posts double-double in loss
Rotowire
Porter racked up 25 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers.
Porter made his presence felt on both ends of the court Tuesday, notching his first double-double since Feb. 27 and his best scoring output since Feb. 24. The two blocks were also his best output since the All-Star break, though Porter isn't known for his defensive prowess. The sixth-year veteran, who should be in line for more minutes and a bigger role offensively due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), is averaging 17.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game since the break.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Porter has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right knee synovitis.
Porter was cleared to play the front end of the Bucks' back-to-back set Saturday against the Hawks, when he logged 18 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block over 30 minutes in a 122-99 loss. He'll sit for Sunday's contest, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Cavaliers. Ryan Rollins should take on a larger role offensively in Porter's absence.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: All-around effort in loss
Rotowire
Porter ended with 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 122-99 loss to the Hawks.
Porter did a little bit of everything during Saturday's loss, leading the Bucks in rebounds while finishing second in both points and assists behind Ryan Rollins (22 points and eight assists). Porter has played in Milwaukee's last two games after missing the four previous contests due to right knee synovitis, but it's possible that he sits out for the second leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set against the Pacers on Sunday.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Available Saturday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Porter is officially cleared to play in the first leg of the Bucks' back-to-back set after dealing with right knee synovitis. He is expected to handle a heavy workload this afternoon with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ruled out. However, given Porter's recent four-game absence and the quick turnaround for Sunday's home game against the Pacers, Porter is a strong candidate to sit out the second leg of the back-to-back for injury management.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Porter is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to right knee synovitis.
Porter returned from a four-game absence due to the same injury in Thursday's loss to Miami, playing 28 minutes and finishing with six points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. He's not believed to have experienced a setback in that contest, so his potential absence Saturday is likely just maintenance-related as the Bucks head into a back-to-back set. Even if Porter ends up playing Saturday, he'll be a candidate to sit out Sunday's home game versus the Pacers.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Struggles in return
Rotowire
Porter (knee) contributed six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Heat.
Back in action after missing the Bucks' previous four games due to right knee synovitis, Porter returned to the starting five but handled a more muted role than usual. He took on a 17.9 percent usage rate, well below his season-long mark of 24.0 percent. Porter should see his playing time and usage pick up a bit as he becomes further removed from the injury, though with a back-to-back set coming up for Milwaukee, he could end up sitting out either Saturday in Atlanta or Sunday at home versus the Pacers.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Out again Sunday
Rotowire
Porter (knee) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game versus the Magic.
This will be Porter's third consecutive game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will join Porter on the inactive list Sunday, so Ryan Rollins figures to be very busy on offense.
