Kevin Porter Jr.'s Absence Already Taking Toll on Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are feeling the absence of starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr. and need him back in the lineup soon.

After scoring 10 points in just nine minutes in the Bucks' opening night victory, Porter sprained his ankle and did not return. According to head coach Doc Rivers, it was a bad sprain, but the good news is that Porter was back on the bench without a walking boot for the 122-116 victory over the Toronto Raptors.

Porter's absence has forced Doc Rivers into an immediate reshuffling of the team's backcourt rotation, highlighting the team's inability to dribble and create offense without him.

His presence is sorely missed already, and they need him back sooner than later.

The current guards are holding up well in his place, but the team's overall performance is still affected by Porter's absence.

Author's summary: Bucks need Porter Jr. back in lineup.
