Bobby Portis

The Milwaukee Bucks are officially headed to the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating the Brooklyn Nets in a thrilling seven-game series. There were many questions left in the aftermath of Milwaukee’s series win against Brooklyn, but one of the most recurring was the absence of Bobby Portis. The big man missed the latter portion of the series by not playing in Games 5, 6, and 7, which raised suspicion of whether the team’s leading reserve was battling through some unseen injury.

The summer of 2019, AKA The Summer of the Power Forwards (and Elfrid Payton) was a weird one for the NY Knicks to say the least.

While the Knicks will undoubtedly be connected to various stars during free agency, let’s take a look at a complementary piece that could fit the bill for a team looking to bolster a key position. With the acquisition of Julius Randle several years ago and drafting Obi Toppin, the Knicks turned down the contract option of Bobby Portis last year, a power forward/center.

Amidst the aftermath of Milwaukee blowing a 17-point lead, one question making the rounds was where Bobby Portis was in that game?

Ex-Knick Bobby Portis will likely get to be a free agent again this summer, and it wouldn’t be shocking if Tom Thibodeau’s club has at least some interest. His free-agent decision last November, turning down the Knicks’ offer to join the Bucks, has worked out, even if he missed the Knicks’ Thibodeau Revival Tour.
