Bobby Portis Jr. and the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a three-year, $44 million contract. Portis held a $13.4 million player option for next season that he will decline for his new contract. Portis, who is represented by Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller, will hold a player option for the 2027-28 season.
Portis averaged 13.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.4 minutes across 49 games last season. Over the past four seasons, Portis has had PERs of 17.5, 17.7, 17.4 and 17.4. Portis also received a 25-game suspension for taking a banned substance last season, which reduced his games played.
The Golden State Warriors were among the teams with potential interest in Portis if he reached free agency.
The 6-foot-10 forward’s shooting range forces opposing defenses to respect his three-point threat, creating spacing for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Bucks’ offense. Portis has consistently been a fan favorite for the Bucks during his tenure after bouncing around the league with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards.
