Second time this season. One of Milwaukee’s leaders is injured again
Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. He missed the game (102:122) against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an oblique muscle strain.
According to head coach Doc Rivers, Kevin will not be able to play for the foreseeable future.
Rivers noted that Porter played the last few games with an injury and underwent an MRI on Tuesday. At this time the coach cannot say how long Kevin will be out of action.
Porter is averaging 16.8 points per game on 44% shooting this season, but has struggled in his last four games, averaging just 8.0 points on 26% shooting.
This isn’t Porter’s first injury this season. He received the previous one in the first game of the season and missed 19 games. The Bucks were 7-12 in his absence.
Center Myles Turner also missed the game against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain that was evaluated day-to-day.
“That’s what’s been happening to us all season. We’re not complaining. We’ve got to keep winning games. It’s been hard to find a rhythm. It’s really hard. But it is what it is. We can deal with it,” Rivers said.
