The Milwaukee Bucks’ matchup tonight against the Washington Wizards took a sudden turn when Kevin Porter Jr. exited the game, heading to the locker room. The injury seems to have originated during a defensive possession in the fourth quarter, and it immediately raised concern for the 25-year-old guard, who has already spent a significant time early this season on the injury list.

“Kevin Porter Jr. (back) won’t return Monday,” Underdog reported on X, citing the Bucks’ official report. It confirmed that the team’s lead guard is dealing with lower back spasms, though the extent remains uncertain.

Before exiting, Porter delivered one of his best performances as a Buck. In his 31 minutes, he recorded 30 points on 12-15 shooting, along with four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

His +13 plus/minus reflected the impact he had while on the floor, highlighting how significant his absence became as the game unfolded, and the Bucks went down against the Wizards.
