Kevin Porter Jr. Could Attract EuroLeague Interest After Bucks Exit

Kevin Porter Jr. could return to European basketball after being released by the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. The 26-year-old guard is now a free agent and may attract interest from both NBA franchises and leading European clubs as teams assess their options during the campaign.

Speaking on the Clutch Scoops podcast, NBA insider Brett Siegel suggested that Porter could become an option for teams looking for additional depth in their backcourt later in the season. Siegel also highlighted the possibility of a move to Europe, although no agreement with a specific club has been confirmed.

Despite injury problems that limited him to 38 appearances last season, Porter delivered impressive numbers for Milwaukee. He averaged 17.4 points, 7.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game, demonstrating his ability to contribute as both a scorer and a playmaker.

A return to Europe would not be unfamiliar territory for the American guard. In April 2024, he joined Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki, where he averaged 22 points, 9.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists across six league games. His performances helped him earn another opportunity in the NBA, first with the Los Angeles Clippers and later with Milwaukee. Porter must now decide whether to wait for another NBA opportunity or consider a move overseas.
