Bucks’ Bobby Portis sends strong message to Ryan Rollins after guard’s career night against Knicks

The secret could be out about Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins. The former Toledo Rockets star had a big night on Tuesday, as he helped Milwaukee humble the visiting New York Knicks at Fiserv Forum. Rollins erupted for a career-high total of 25 points, and he did it efficiently.

He shot 8-for-11 from the field and went 4-for-4 from behind the arc. In addition, Rollins dished out four dimes, grabbed two rebounds and recorded four steals in just 26 minutes of a 121-111 victory over Jalen Brunson and the Knicks.

Rollins’ incredible performance further draws more attention to the former second-round pick by the Atlanta Hawks.

Following Milwaukee’s victory, Bucks veteran big man Bobby Portis sent a big message to Rollins via social media.

“Have a night

,” said Portis in a post on X, while also reposting a video of Rollins’ highlights in the New York game.

Portis, meanwhile, contributed nine points on 4-for-10 shooting with two rebounds and a steal plus a block in 16 minutes of action off the bench for the Bucks, who improved to 3-1 through four games in the 2025-26 NBA regular season.

But it was none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had the biggest night of them all, as the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player erupted for 37 points on 16-for-22 shooting and added eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and a steal in 33 minutes of floor duty amid Knicks trade rumors.

Coming up next for Rollins and the Bucks is a date with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, still at Fiserv Forum.
