Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis faced an unsettling situation over the weekend when his home was burglarized while he was away playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Returning to Milwaukee after a three-game road trip, Portis had little time to enjoy being home before his property was invaded, and several prized possessions were stolen. Now, he’s reaching out to the public, asking for any tips or information that could help identify the burglars and recover his belongings.
Portis’ return to Milwaukee was supposed to be a brief but meaningful moment between road games, yet it was overshadowed by this troubling event. While he managed to focus on the game, delivering a solid performance with 10 points and eight rebounds in his 20 minutes on the floor, the Bucks fell short in a tight match against the Cavaliers. A clutch late-game shot from Donovan Mitchell helped Cleveland maintain their perfect season record, leaving Milwaukee still seeking their first win since opening night.
Portis, now in his fifth season with the Bucks, has become an invaluable part of the team’s bench, consistently performing as one of the league’s top sixth men. His contributions were key in the Bucks’ 2021 championship run, and he has remained a dependable presence ever since. This season, he is averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game, and he’s working hard to help the Bucks overcome their rough 1-5 start.
Monday’s rematch against the Cavs offers Milwaukee a chance at redemption, but Portis now finds himself balancing the demands of professional basketball with the stress of a personal invasion. He remains hopeful that the suspects will be found and that at least some of his possessions will be returned. For now, he’s focused on staying resilient both on and off the court as he continues to be a vital part of the Bucks’ efforts this season.
As Portis prepares to travel again, he can only hope that justice will prevail. His fans and team are rallying behind him, supporting him both in his pursuit for answers and in his commitment to helping turn Milwaukee’s season around.
