Bobby Portis Jr. Joins the Heat After a Bucks Season Worth 13.7 a Night
newsroom · 1 h agoBobby Portis Jr. heads into 2026-27 with the Miami Heat after spending last season with Milwaukee. He is not on the injury report. The book on him is a floor-spacing big who can score in bursts off the bench or in the frontcourt rotation.
A New Number, A New Team
Bobby Portis Jr. enters the 2026-27 season with the Miami Heat, wearing No. 95. He is 31 years old, stands 6-9, weighs 250 pounds, and is heading into his 11th NBA season out of Arkansas. Last season he played for Milwaukee, so this is a fresh chapter for him in South Florida. Heat fans have not seen him in games yet under this uniform, and there is no game log so far to draw from. What is known is his track record: a physical forward who can play inside and step out to the arc. Miami now adds that skill set to its frontcourt mix heading into the new season.
What He Did Last Season
In 2025-26 with Milwaukee, Portis played 67 games and averaged 24.2 minutes a night. He put up 13.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game, with 1.0 turnovers. His shooting was efficient across the board: 48.8 percent from the field, 45.6 percent from three-point range, and 70.6 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage was 58.7, with a usage rate of 22.5 percent. His plus-minus for the season was minus-4.0. Those are the numbers Miami is banking on as it builds out its frontcourt depth for 2026-27.
Shooting Big Who Stretches the Floor
The headline number from last season is the 45.6 percent clip from three-point range. For a 6-9, 250-pound forward, that is an elite outside shooting mark, and it came with real volume given his 22.5 usage rate. Paired with 48.8 percent shooting overall and a 58.7 true shooting percentage, the profile is a big man who does not need a heavy dose of touches to be efficient. His free-throw shooting at 70.6 percent is solid for a frontcourt player. The low turnover rate, just 1.0 per game, also points to a player who takes care of the ball within a bench or complementary role rather than needing to create offense from scratch.
Health Report
Portis is not on the injury report heading into the season. There is no injury history to note for him. That is a clean bill of health as Miami gets him into training camp and preseason work, and it matters for a player who logged 67 games last season, a solid workload over an 82-game schedule. No recent game log is available yet, since the season opener has not been detailed here. For now, the story is a healthy veteran forward walking into a new locker room with his production from last season as the primary evidence of what he brings.
What to Watch For
With no recent games or rumors on file, the immediate storylines are simple: how quickly Portis fits into Miami's rotation and whether his three-point efficiency from last season carries over in a new system. His numbers with Milwaukee, 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds a night with elite shooting splits, give the Heat a frontcourt option who can space the floor. At 31 years old and in his 11th season, he arrives with a known role: efficient scoring, low turnovers, and outside shooting from a big body. The season opener will be the first real look at how that translates in a Heat uniform.
