The Bucks signed free agent forward Jontay Porter and subsequently waived him, Hoops Rumors has learned.
The younger brother of Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., Jontay Porter appeared in 11 games for the Grizzlies during the 2020/21 season, averaging 2.0 PPG and 1.3 RPG in 4.9 MPG. He suited up this July for Denver’s Summer League team.
Porter signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with the Bucks and will earn a $50K bonus if he spends at least 60 days with the Wisconsin Herd, Milwaukee’s G League squad. His NBAGL rights weren’t previously held by any team, so the Bucks will be able to retain him as an affiliate player.
Can’t believe they let him go. After all he did for the team in those 11 minutes he was under contract.
During that time, Horst realized Jontay was not an Antetokounmpo brother.
