Kevin Porter Jr. is bringing new life to the Milwaukee bench.
The Milwaukee Bucks won 126-106 against the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2024-2025 NBA regular season at the Milwaukee Five-Sub Forum on the 14th (Korea Standard Time).
Milwaukee had a clear advantage in offense and defense against the Lakers, who were absent due to injuries, LeBron James, Jackson Haze, and Rui Hachimura, and secured a victory in the second half to escape three consecutive losses.
While starting pitchers Yannis Antetokounmpo (24 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists), Brooke Lopez (23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists), and Damian Lillard (22 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists) performed their roles, there was one player in the Milwaukee Brewers who energized the team. It was Kevin Porter Jr., who scored 22 points including five three-point shots.
Potter, who made his NBA debut for Cleveland in the 2019-2020 season, impressed by his outstanding performance on the bench even though he was a rookie. However, he was traded to Houston in just one season after causing noise in various ways, including illegal gun possession and assault on women, and going on a rampage in the locker room.
Porter, who began to earn expectations to fill James Harden's vacancy by averaging 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists in the 2020-2021 season, his second year, spent his career high season averaging 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the 2022-2023 season.
However, just as the four-year, $82.5 million long-term contract agreed in October 2022 was about to begin, Potter quickly fell into the abyss. Houston immediately traded him to Oklahoma City, and as OKC waved Porter, he quickly lost his place in the NBA.
Potter, who played for Greece's PAOK last season and vowed to make a comeback, returned to the NBA stage for the first time in a year through a deal with the Clippers this season, and moved to Milwaukee through a trade in February, returning a long way to the team that drafted him in the 2019 NBA Draft. 온라인바카라
Porter, who has mainly been coming off the bench since his transfer, has averaged 16.7 minutes in six games he played in March, with 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists with a 55.3% field-putting success rate and 40.0% three-point shooting success rate, keeping a good spot in the rotation.
