Bobby Portis says his house was robbed while he was away for the Cavs-Bucks game


Bobby Portis says his house was robbed while he was away for the Cavs-Bucks game

While Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was leaving his home Saturday night to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at Fiserv Forum, his home was invaded and many of his prized possessions were stolen.

He is asking for help from anyone who has tips or information about the break-in.

The Bucks just returned from a three-game road trip, with their match against the Cavaliers being their first home game since returning. After a home game, they're already heading back out for another game against the Cavs – this one in Cleveland.

It's unfortunate that Portis' brief time back in Milwaukee was marred by a home invasion, something no one should ever have to experience.

In Saturday's game, Portis played well, but it wasn't enough for the Bucks to beat the Cavs. Portis got 20 minutes of playing time as a substitute and finished the game with 10 points (on 5-for-10 shooting) and eight rebounds.

The Bucks nearly handed the Cavs their first loss of the season, but a late shot from star guard Donovan Mitchell saved Cleveland's day.

The Cavs are now 7-0 while the Bucks are 1-5 and still looking for their first win since their season opener. Milwaukee will look to get revenge on Cleveland when the two teams meet again on Monday.

Portis is now in his fifth season with the Bucks, where he has established himself as one of the best backup players in the league. He received votes for Sixth Man of the Year honors in three of the last four completed seasons and his contributions helped Milwaukee win the 2021 NBA Finals.

So far this season he is averaging 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. He hopes to help the Bucks turn their season around after a very difficult start. Unfortunately, basketball can't be the only thing on his mind after his house is raided.

With a bit of luck, the burglars will be found and he can get as many of his belongings back as possible.
