Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis didn't hold back in his response to his former Khris Middleton 's trade to the Washington Wizards. The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma before the NBA trade deadline.
This unfortunately didn't stop Bobby Portis from taking a comedic shot at not just Kuzma and his fashion choices, but the great city of Milwaukee. Portis' honesty didn't stop ther
When the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Kyle Kuzma, they were expecting to get a really good offensive player. They know that he can really score the ball when he is engaged. He wasn't really engaged while he was with the Washington Wizards earlier this year.
The Bucks have won three consecutive games since the All-Star break and four overall, and Kuzma has played an important part in each.
This is a huge blow for the Milwaukee Bucks. Bobby Portis Jr. has been suspended for 25 games after violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy by taking the drug Tramadol.
Portis is one of the league's top bench producers, and he adds even more intangibles. Milwaukee will need other players to step up.
Not only does this suspension hurt the Bucks as a team, but it will be a massive hit to his wallet. He will be losing a lot of money because of this. Portis will lose $2.85 million because of the suspension, which works out to $114, 348 per game.
Wizards: NBA-worst Washington stayed competitive despite woeful shooting nights by Kyshawn George (1 of 11) and Jordan Poole (3 of 11). With Milwaukee clinging to a one-point lead, Brook Lopez drew a foul call with 38.5 seconds left and made both free throws to make it 104-101.
The Bucks watched Kyle Kuzma make personal history early in the first quarter against the Clippers. Kuzma is now part of an exclusive club.
