Bucks Star broke into the house during the game

Bucks Star broke into the house during the game

The home of Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr. was robbed Saturday during the Bucks’ 114-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Portis shared on social media on Sunday that his home had been broken into and urged anyone with information about the situation to report it to him.

‘I consider Milwaukee my home’ Portis wrote on X. “Last night, while I was at work, my house was broken into and many of my valuables were stolen. If you have any tips or information, please send them to [email protected]. Rewards for information leading to recovery or arrests!”

In his post, Portis included a video of the burglary and a video of him addressing Milwaukee.

“What’s good, Milwaukee,” Portis said. “For the past four and a half seasons, I have considered Milwaukee home. I have grown here, I came here as a boy and elevated into a man. The love you give me here is something I have not done.” I felt that way earlier in my NBA career. I’ve been in the league for ten years now, more than ten years, can you believe that?”

“I’ve always felt like I had to give it back to you. I’ve tried to uplift the community and make Milwaukee a better place. Organizing food drives, talking to youth regularly, inviting underserved groups to the games, etc. You name it, I’ve done it and I still do it. Like I said before, this is a place I consider home, so why not make my home a better place? I had a terrible start to the season to start with, but yesterday when I got to my competition, I had a home invasion and they took most of my valuables.”

Portis signed with the Bucks in November 2020 and helped Milwaukee win a championship in 2021. In 2022, he re-signed with the Bucks to a four-year, $49 million contract. He is now in his fifth season with the Bucks, making his time in Milwaukee the longest of his career.

He recorded 10 points and eight rebounds against the Cavaliers on Saturday and is averaging 11 points per game this season.
