Kevin Porter Jr. he plays amazingly without shoes
The Milwaukee Bucks looked to bounce back from an embarrassing loss as they hosted the Detroit Pistons at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday.
The Bucks were upset by the Washington Wizards129-126, to drop to 9-13. But it won’t get any easier against the Pistons, who lead the Eastern Conference at 17-4 entering the contest.
After going down by nine points in the first quarter, Milwaukee showed more fight in the second frame. Kevin Porter Jr. even made a theft by holding his shoe.
As they say, if the shoe fits.
Porter has been playing well since returning from a sprained ankle and knee surgery that saw him miss 19 games. He scored a game-high 30 points on 12-of-15 shooting in a loss to the Wizards. He also had four rebounds, five assists and three steals.
Fans are hoping the 25-year-old Porter stays healthy for the rest of the campaign, especially with the Bucks still in the middle.
Furthermore, there could be more trouble for Milwaukee afterward Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a calf injury in the first quarter against the Pistons. He is out of the game and has yet to return. It was his first game back from a groin injury.
Trade rumors surrounding Antetokounmpo have also surfaced, though the two-time MVP and nine-time All-Star has repeatedly said he’s happy to stay in Cream City.
Meanwhile, Porter and company will look to play better in the second half in an attempt to get past the Pistons.
As of this writing, Detroit holds a slim lead in the third quarter.
