Kevin Porter Jr. scores 25, a new career high

His 25-point night against the Cavaliers broke a mark he set in April 2025.

25points, a career high

Kevin Porter Jr. scored 25 points on March 17, 2026. That is a career high for him. He reached the mark playing for the Bucks. The opponent was the Cavaliers.

The game was his 38th of the 2025-26 season. That season is still in progress. Through it, Porter is averaging 17.4 points a game. He is averaging 33.2 minutes a game. Twenty-five points sits well above his season scoring average.

The old high was 23 points. Porter set that mark on April 27, 2025. He broke it by two points on March 17, 2026. The new mark, 25 points, is now his best single-game scoring total on record.

For 25 points to hold as the career high, Porter needs no bigger scoring night for the rest of 2025-26. That bar is simple: stay under 25, or match it, and the record stands. For the mark to fall, he needs one game with more than 25 points. His season averages, 17.4 points and 33.2 minutes a game, show that his usual workload can support a big scoring night. He does not need more playing time than usual to set a new high.

As of March 17, 2026, this is where the record stands. Kevin Porter Jr., of the Bucks, has a career high of 25 points. He set it in the 2025-26 season, against the Cavaliers.
