Kevin Porter Jr. had 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Indiana Pacers 105-99 on Friday night for their first three-game winning streak of the season.
Milwaukee remains without Giannis (calf strain) and Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique strain), both out indefinitely. Taurean Prince is still out, perhaps for the season, after neck surgery. They’re joined by Gary Harris, who will sit with a hamstring strain.
The Milwaukee Bucks surprised everyone by adding free agent guard Cam Thomas shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 NBA trade deadline. Thomas was released by the Brooklyn Nets at the deadline and was the hot commodity for teams trying to finish out their roster building.
An interesting plotline as Giannis and the Bucks stick together for now: The team's best path is to tank. The star likely won't accept that.
Thomas was waived by the Nets after the trade deadline, he could give the Bucks scoring off the bench.
