MILWAUKEE (Aug. 6, 2021) – The Milwaukee Bucks have re-signed forward Bobby Portis.
“Bobby is instrumental to our championship team, providing toughness, dependable three-point shooting and a strong inside presence on both ends of the floor,” said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst. “His constant energy and effort make him a great teammate and a favorite among Bucks fans. We are thrilled to have Bobby remain in Milwaukee.”
Portis appeared in 20 playoff games (2 starts) for the Bucks last season in route to winning the NBA Finals and held averages of 8.8 points and 5.0 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game.

Overall, Portis reached double figures in nine of his 20 playoff games last season, with the Bucks going 8-1 in those games.
