Kevin Porter Jr. Injured: Bucks Star Out Indefinitely with Strained Oblique | NBA Injury Update (2026)

Bucks' Kevin Porter Jr. is out indefinitely with a strained oblique, according to ESPN. The injury comes after Porter has been playing through the pain for the past few games, averaging just 8.0 points on 26% shooting during his past four games. He was moved to a bench role for the first time this season during Monday's game against Atlanta. Porter, who is averaging 16.8 points on 44% shooting this season, suffered an injury in the first game of the season and missed 19 games. The Bucks went 7-12 in his absence. Center Myles Turner will also miss Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain, and is considered day-to-day. Coach Doc Rivers said, 'It's been that way all year for us. We're not crying about it. We got to keep trying to win games. It's been tough getting a rhythm. But it is what it is. We'll figure it out.'
