The 25-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign with the Clippers before being moved to the Bucks ahead of the trade deadline. He played well in Milwaukee, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting a career-high 40.8% from behind the arc. The franchise is hoping to retain him, considering Damian Lillard (Achilles) isn't expected to return anytime soon. If Porter stays in Milwaukee, he will have a good chance to handle things as a starter. If anything, he should have a routine role in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski believes Houston Rockets guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr.'s future is "very much in peril" following Monday's arrest. While Houston cannot suspend or release him while the NBA conducts an investigation, the 23-year-old is certainly in a precarious position. Commissioner Adam Silver could elect to put Porter on administrative leave during this time, as the assault allegations against him don't sound good at all. KPJ's checkered past also includes "personal conduct issues" from his USC days and a locker room outburst during his Cleveland Cavaliers career. Fantasy managers drafting at this stage might want to consider steering clear of the mercurial combo guard with anything besides a late-round pick despite nearly recording top-50 roto value a year ago.
