Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis said during a message on social media Sunday that his home was burglarized on Saturday and posted a video of the alleged perpetrators.
In the video, a pair of people were seen attempting to gain access to Portis’ property through one of his doors.
Portis requested that any information or tips regarding the burglary be sent to his email.
The 29-year-old has become a fixture as Milwaukee’s de facto sixth man off the bench. In parts of five seasons, he’s averaged 13.5 points and 8.3 rebounds while shooting 40 percent from three. The Bucks are built around the star trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, but Portis has become an incredibly valuable role player.
Portis, who has a $13.4 million player option for the 2025-26 season, also has felt embraced and at home in Milwaukee.
“The love you guys give me here isn’t something that I ever felt before in my NBA career, and I’ve been in the league for 10 years,” he said in his video. “… I’ve always felt like I’ve had to give it right back to you guys. I’ve tried to uplift the community and make Milwaukee a better place.”
