Milwaukee Bucks Sign Bobby Portis to Three-Year $44 Million Extension

News summary

Bobby Portis has signed a three-year, $44 million contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, including a player option for the 2027-28 season, after declining his previous $13.4 million player option. The 30-year-old forward has been a vital contributor off the bench for the Bucks over the past five seasons, helping the team win the 2021 NBA title and the 2024 NBA Cup, and finishing in the top three for Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2023 and 2024. Despite missing 25 games last season due to a suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, Portis maintained strong performance averages of 13.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Known for his toughness and efficiency, Portis has become a fan favorite and an important floor spacer alongside star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The new contract ensures Portis remains a key piece as the Bucks look to strengthen their roster and make deeper playoff runs. His extension carries an average annual value slightly above the league’s mid-level exception, reflecting a team-friendly deal that aligns with the Bucks’ broader offseason goals.
