Bobby Portis was flabbergasted when he learned about the Milwaukee Bucks’ upcoming schedule for the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s no secret that being an NBA player isn’t easy. Their schedule typically includes 82 regular-season games, plus several postseason games if their team makes the playoffs. We’re not even including their training schedule in between games or prior to the start of every new season.
It appears that the schedule may have gotten worse as Portis subtly revealed what the Bucks’ schedule will look like this year. The Bucks forward went on social media to rant about how busy his team is going to be this season.
“Just checked the schedule,” Portis wrote on X. “Boys not home for thanksgiving or Christmas? Nasty work.”

Regardless of his complaints, Portis is tied down with the Bucks for another three seasons. He recently signed a new contract during the offseason. His contract is worth $43.56 million, with a player option in the 2027-28 season. Portis seems to be happy playing for Milwaukee. He expressed his thoughts and shared why he decided to stay with the team.
“I have a passion for the city. Like, when you do something for a town, accepts you like they accepted me,” Portis said. “When you get a chance to just be yourself every day, like, it’s hard finding a team, bro. It’s hard finding a home in sports.”
The Bucks are set to face off against the Miami Heat on October 6 in their 2025 NBA Preseason opener.
