Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images The Los Angeles Clippers dealt Kevin Porter Jr. to the Milwaukee Bucks for forward MarJon Beauchamp at Thursday's trade deadline, multiple reports said.
Porter, 24, was in his first season with the Clippers and sat out 2023-24 following a domestic violence arrest while he was signed with the Houston Rockets. Porter accepted a plea deal in January 2024, pleading guilty to misdemeanor reckless assault as well as second-degree harassment.
Porter played 45 games for the Clippers, starting two, and averaged 9.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He is on pace for a career-low in scoring average, with the return of Kawhi Leonard expected to cut into his playing time.
He has career averages of 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists over 241 games (148 starts) for the Cleveland Cavaliers (2019-20), Rockets (2020-23) and Clippers.
Beauchamp, 24, was averaging a career-low 2.0 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in 26 appearances off the Milwaukee bench. In three seasons with the Bucks, he compiled career averages of 4.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 126 games (12 starts).
Beauchamp is in line to become a free agent following the season after the Bucks declined his fourth-year rookie option worth $4.8 million in 2025-26.
