The Bucks star smashed the house during the game

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr.’s home was burglarized during the Bucks’ 114-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. Portis shared on social media Sunday that his home had been broken into and asked 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 recoveries or arrests!”

In his post, Portis included a video of the break-in and a video of him addressing Milwaukee.

“Good, Milwaukee,” Portis said. “For the past four and a half seasons, I have considered Milwaukee home. I grew up here, I came here a boy and I grew up a man. The love you give me here is something I’ve never felt before in my NBA career, I’ve been in the league for ten years now, over a decade, can you believe it?

“I always felt like I had to give back to you guys. I tried to uplift the community and make Milwaukee a better place. To offer food drives, to talk to young people on a regular basis, to invite the underserved. groups at games, etc. You name it I did and I still do, like I said before this is a place I consider home so why not make my house a better place on a horrible start to the season but while I was at my match yesterday, 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 on a four-year, $49 million contract. He is now in his fifth season with the Bucks, making his time in Milwaukee the longest tenure of his career.

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