NBA investigation into Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. complete

The NBA concluded its investigation into Kevin Porter Jr.'s alleged September 11, 2023 domestic violence incident late last week, resulting in a four-game suspension. The league and the NBPA agreed that this suspension was deemed served based on the facts and circumstances, as Porter did not play during the 2023-24 NBA season following his arrest and subsequent waiver by the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 18, 2023. This follows a precedent set in a similar case involving Miles Bridges.

After playing briefly in Greece in spring 2024, Porter returned to the NBA for the 2024-25 season by signing a free agent deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. His criminal record related to the incident was cleared on January 23, 2025, after he fulfilled the terms of a plea agreement.

The Milwaukee Bucks acquired Porter in a trade with the Clippers on February 6. Playing in 30 games (two starts) for the Bucks, he averaged about 20 minutes per game, shooting 49.4% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range – numbers that would represent career bests for a full season. In his first career playoff games against Indiana, he averaged 11.2 points and 5.4 assists.

In July, Porter signed a two-year, $10.5 million deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks.
