New NBA Rumors Update Kevin Porter Jr.'s Potential Landing Spots After Bucks Exit

Kevin Porter Jr. has yet to find his new team after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks in October, but that could change soon.

According to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, the veteran guard has drawn interest from the Sacramento Kings as they eye a replacement for Ben Simmons, who suffered a torn Achilles before the season started.

Stein and Fischer also noted that the Kings have shown interest in Gabe Vincent, who went unsigned as a free agent this offseason.

Stein and Fischer added that the Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat could be options for Porter if Sacramento chooses to sign Vincent.

Porter put up some of the best numbers of his career last year, averaging 17.4 points, 7.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds, though he played just 38 contests. Vincent, meanwhile, put up just 4.4 points per game across 53 games with the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks.

Signing with the Kings would be committing to the rebuild, since Sacramento is 1-8 so far and likely playing for the future. The Blazers are 6-3 to start the season, though Porter would likely have to come off the bench behind Damian Lillard or Ja Morant.

The Heat figure to be contenders with Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way, though a 3-6 start suggests Miami still needs some help. Through the early going, it's clear the Heat need another piece in the backcourt.
