We have requested waivers on Kevin Porter Jr. Via @Bucks on X

What happened: Milwaukee requested waivers on Kevin Porter Jr. ahead of the 2026-27 preseason. He is listed as a free agent as rosters finalize.

Why it matters: Porter averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds last season in Milwaukee. Sacramento checked in after a season-ending Achilles tear thinned its backcourt.

By the numbers: Last season in Milwaukee: 17.4 PPG, 7.4 APG, 5.2 RPG.

What to watch: Porter becomes free to sign elsewhere if unclaimed. Final roster decisions land before opening week of 2026-27.
