May not play rest of season
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers told reporters Saturday that he would "be surprised" if Porter (knee) plays again this season, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
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, and it appears the issue is severe enough for the veteran guard to sit for the rest of the 2025-26 regular season. If that is the case, then Porter will end the regular season averaging 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 threes and 2.2 steals over 33.2 minutes per game, with his assists and steals numbers both career highs. Ryan Rollins, AJ Green and Gary Trent will operate in expanded roles in Porter's absence.

Ruled out for Saturday
Porter (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis
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.

Won't go vs. Portland
Porter (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Porter is slated for a fourth straight absence while on the mend from right knee inflammation. Taurean Prince has drawn two consecutive starts in Porter's absence and figures to be in line to do so again Wednesday evening.

Remains out for Monday
Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis
Porter will miss a third consecutive contest due to right knee synovitis, marking his eighth absence this month. With the 25-year-old guard sidelined, Cam Thomas and Gary Trent are candidates for increased minutes, while Ryan Rollins is likely to continue seeing increased playmaking duties. Porter's next chance to play will come Wednesday in Portland.
