Bobby Portis Jr. has been a local cult figure for years after being the final player of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2021 championship-contending unit. Since his home was broken into during yesterday’s Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game, he has taken to social media to appeal for help.

Portis uploaded a CCTV video of his home door on Sunday afternoon, along with a statement asking fans to share any information or recommendations they may have. “I know we have gotten off to a horrible start, but while I was at the game yesterday, I had a home invasion and they took most of my prized possessions.”

According to sources who spoke to ESPN, Portis has reported the incident to the police and believes it was a targeted heist because it occurred just before the game on Saturday. 

Milwaukee Bucks are surprisingly at the bottom of the East with a 1-5 record, and Portis is beginning the season with an average of 11.0 points and 7.7 rebounds. This is one of the team’s worst starts in the past 10 years, signaling the end of a period in which Giannis Antetokounmpo’s team was consistently competitive.

Bobby Portis Jr joined Milwaukee Bucks in 2020

After a couple of turbulent seasons with the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, Portis joined the team in 2020. After Giannis Antetokounmpo attracted Portis to the Bucks, he signed an under-market contract, and the team went on to win a championship, securing Portis’ long-term career with the team. During his four years with the Bucks, he has averaged 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds. Since he loves the city and is adored by his admirers, he is asking them for assistance with his possessions.

There should be information to assist Portis since it appears to be a planned heist rather than an unplanned one to target an NBA player’s home while everyone is aware that they are performing at the arena. The player will have a significant emotional setback as the team looks to bounce back from a 1–5 start and get back into the picture.
