Kevin Porter Jr.'s Absence Already Taking Toll on Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks need Kevin Porter Jr. back in the lineup, as his absence is already being felt.

After scoring 10 points in just nine minutes in the Bucks' opening night victory over the Washington Wizards, Porter sprained his ankle and did not return. According to head coach Doc Rivers, it was a bad sprain.

Porter's absence has forced Doc Rivers into an immediate reshuffling of the team's backcourt rotation.

His presence is sorely missed already, and they need him back sooner than later.

Although the good news is that Porter was back on the bench without a walking boot for the 122-116 victory over the Toronto Raptors, the team cannot dribble and/or create offense as well without him.

Author's summary: Bucks need Porter Jr. back due to his absence impact.
