BREAKING NEWS: Milwaukee Bucks Forward Bobby Portis Jr. Signs New Three-Year Contract Extension, Reaffirms Loyalty to the Franchise
In a major boost for the Milwaukee Bucks, fan-favorite and power forward Bobby Portis Jr. has officially re-signed with the team, securing a fresh three-year contract extension. This move solidifies his commitment to the franchise that helped shape his rise into one of the NBA’s most valuable role players. The deal ensures that Portis will continue wearing the green and cream through the 2028 season, as the Bucks look to keep their championship core intact.
Portis, known for his tenacity, energy, and fearless playing style, has become a key figure in Milwaukee’s success over the past few seasons. Since joining the team in 2020, he has been a spark off the bench and a reliable presence in the starting lineup when called upon. His ability to stretch the floor, rebound with intensity, and bring fire to both ends of the court has earned him widespread respect from teammates, coaches, and fans alike.
Speaking after the contract announcement, Portis expressed immense gratitude and joy. “Milwaukee is home. This team, this city — they embraced me from day one. I’m proud to continue the journey here and do everything I can to help us win another title,” he said. “I’ve grown a lot here as a player and as a man, and I’m excited about what lies ahead.”
Bucks General Manager Jon Horst praised the extension, calling Portis “a pillar of our team’s identity.” He added, “Bobby’s passion, work ethic, and leadership are invaluable. He’s the kind of player who elevates everyone around him — on and off the floor.”
Head coach Doc Rivers also welcomed the news, emphasizing the importance of keeping foundational players as the team transitions into a new phase of competition. “Bobby brings heart and hustle every single night. You need players like him in the locker room if you want to build something lasting.”
This new deal not only secures a vital on-court contributor but also reaffirms Milwaukee’s desire to maintain team chemistry and continuity. Portis has consistently proven himself during high-stakes moments, particularly during the Bucks’ 2021 NBA Championship run, where his energy and clutch shooting played a crucial role.
The fanbase has responded overwhelmingly positively to the announcement, flooding social media with supportive messages and celebratory posts. Portis’ signature goggles, fiery celebrations, and blue-collar mentality have made him one of the most beloved players in recent Bucks history.
As Milwaukee continues to retool and build around superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, re-signing key veterans like Portis signals a clear intent: the Bucks are still in win-now mode. With a healthy roster and renewed team focus under new leadership, Portis’s presence will be critical as the team eyes another deep playoff run.
For Portis, the journey continues with the same hunger and humility that have defined his career. “I’m not done,” he said. “There’s more work to do, and I’m ready for it. Let’s get it, Milwaukee.”
