On Saturday, Portis recorded 10 points in 20 minutes, along with eight rebounds, and shot 5-for-10 from the field. It was not his strongest performance of the season, and because of that, Milwaukee is on a five-game skid.

In his five years in Milwaukee, he has become a fan favorite and even finished third in voting for the league's Sixth Man of the Year award.
The Arkansas native is in his 10th year in the league. He has played for the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, and New York Knicks and is now with the Bucks.
Prior to his NBA career, he was a standout at the University of Arkansas. As a Razorback, he was named to the Consensus second-team All-American, SEC Player of the Year, First-team All-SEC in 2015, Second-team All-SEC in 2014, SEC All-Freshman Team, and Arkansas Mr. Baksetball as a senior in high school.
