Bucks' Kevin Porter Jr. Out Four Weeks With Torn Meniscus

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. will miss approximately four weeks due to a torn meniscus in his right knee, requiring a minor orthopedic procedure. The injury occurred during on-court training as he was recovering from a left ankle sprain sustained in the season opener. Porter, who was named the Bucks' starting point guard after re-signing on a two-year deal, had played only nine minutes before the ankle injury sidelined him initially. Prior to this season, Porter averaged 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 30 games with Milwaukee after being acquired at the trade deadline. In his absence, backup point guard Ryan Rollins has stepped up significantly, posting career-high scoring in consecutive games and averaging 18.6 points and 5.0 assists per game. The Bucks, currently off to a strong start, will rely on Rollins and free agent addition Cole Anthony to fill the void while Porter recovers.
