Mandatory Credit: Jordan Godfree-Imagn Images Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers did not have a timetable on Wednesday for when guard Kevin Porter Jr., who is battling a strained oblique, will rejoin the lineup.
Porter, 25, sat out Wednesday's matchup against the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder after playing through the injury for a few games. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday.
"(Porter) won't be able to play anytime soon," Rivers told reporters Wednesday.
The six-year veteran averages 16.8 points, 7.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 23 games this season, but has posted just 8.0 ppg and shot 26.2% from the floor over the past four games. He came off the bench for the first time this season on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks, scoring nine points in 28 minutes.
This isn't the first injury Porter has sustained this season. He left the season opener and missed 19 games, and the Bucks lost 12 of those games.
Milwaukee was also without Myles Turner on Wednesday with a sprained left ankle. Turner told the media that the veteran center was day-to-day.
"It's been that way all year for us," Rivers said. "We're not crying about it. We got to keep trying to win games. It's been tough getting a rhythm. It really has been. But it is what it is. We'll figure it out."
