Portis set to return from his 25-game suspension as Bucks host Timberwolves

(AP Photo/Morry Gash, File) MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bobby Portis is coming back from his 25-game suspension as the Milwaukee Bucks continue their push toward the playoffs. The 30-year-old forward is expected to dress for the Bucks' game Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves and make his first game appearance since the All-Star break. Portis was suspended on Feb. 20 after testing positive for the painkiller Tramadol, violating the league's anti-drug program. Advertisement Portis has indicated he took Tramadol unintentionally. His agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Portis believed he was taking Toradol, which is approved and is something that he has taken before. "When (the suspension) first came, I was mad,' Portis said on a video he posted Monday night on X. 'I was angry that I was getting suspended. I didn't really understand. Why me? It's always a thing. Why me? Why is this happening to me? Why is this happening to me?' The suspension continued a difficult stretch for Portis in which his grandmother died and his home was burglarized. He reacted by counting his blessings, relying on the people closest to him and taking comfort in continuing to play basketball on his own. 'I'm thankful I get a chance to wake up every day,' Portis said. 'I'm thankful I've got a great support system around me each and every day to keep me going. I'm thankful that I am able to still go play basketball. Obviously I can't play in front of 20,000, 15,000 fans every night, but I still get a chance to get up and grind every day, to get better. I'm really just kept my head down, staying ready, so when it's time to get back on the floor, I can be the best I can be.' Advertisement That time has arrived as the Bucks enter the final week of the regular season. 'Really excited to have him back,' teammate Kyle Kuzma said after the Bucks' Tuesday morning shootaround. "I think that he is a huge part of our identity, our mood and feeling out there on the court. I think he's somebody that has just a certain amount of aura to him, tenacity that can ignite a group." Portis lost $2,858,701 in salary because of the suspension. He has averaged 13.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and a career-high 2.2 assists in 46 games. His overall (.463) and 3-point (.364) shooting percentages are his lowest since 2019-20, his last season before joining the Bucks. Milwaukee was 29-24 at the time of Portis' suspension and went 15-10 in the 25 games he missed while enduring plenty of ups and downs. Advertisement The Bucks went 7-1 in the first eight games of Portis' suspension, then lost nine of their next 13 games as their lack of frontcourt depth was exposed. During that slump, the Bucks also lost seven-time all-NBA guard Damian Lillard, who is out indefinitely as he deals with blood clots in his calf that leave his potential return uncertain. Lillard last played on March 18. Milwaukee has since won four straight, though all those victories have come against teams with losing records. The Bucks are fifth in the Eastern Conference, the same position they held when Portis' suspension began. The Bucks are three games behind fourth-place Indiana with four games left in the season, though Milwaukee does have the head-to-head tiebreaker if the two teams finish with the same record. The top four teams in each conference earn home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs. Because the Bucks have only four games left in the regular season, they won't have much of an opportunity to get accustomed to playing together before the playoffs start. Milwaukee had added Kuzma as part of a series of moves at the trade deadline. Kuzma and Portis only were on the floor together for four games before Portis' suspension. Advertisement Kuzma was asked if that would be enough time to establish cohesiveness before the postseason. 'I don't know if that's enough, to be honest — it's four games — but it's up to us to figure it out,' Kuzma said. 'There's no crying on the yacht, as they say. For us, we've just got to figure it out, go out and compete every night and make it make sense out there.' ___ AP NBA:

Alleged burglars targeted pro athletes and evaded authorities for months — until they took a selfie
After months of working to bring down the criminals responsible for a string of high-profile burglaries of celebrity athletes' homes, an FBI special agent working with local police discovered a key piece of evidence that would blow the ring apart: A selfie. According to an unsealed federal criminal complaint filed against seven Chilean men allegedly involved in the crime spree, investigators used cell phone records, GPS and iCloud data to link the suspects to the theft of almost $3 million in luxury goods from professional athletes later identified as NBA forward Bobby Portis and NFL quarterback Joe Burrow. But a selfie – believed to have been taken shortly after several of the men allegedly stole a safe from the home of a Milwaukee Bucks basketball player – proved to be the evidence authorities needed to connect the dots. The burglaries made national headlines last fall after back-to-back break-ins at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The thieves appeared to time the break-ins for when players were away at games, prompting major sporting bodies, like the NFL, NBA and NHL, to warn athletes they could be targeted next. In addition to league warnings, an alarmed FBI also announced a nationwide crackdown aimed at identifying the perpetrators and bringing them to justice. Despite national attention, the criminal complaint alleges the suspects continued to stage several more break-ins until investigators uncovered evidence that led to all seven men being charged with federal crimes and accused of operating a criminal ring to sell stolen goods across state lines. If convicted of felony transportation of stolen goods they could each face up to 10 years in prison. CNN is working to determine if the men have obtained legal representation. Here's how investigators say they were able to track down the suspects in the international ring. The suspects are allegedly linked to a Chilean South American theft group, an international gang known for traveling across the United States to burglarize the homes of at least six professional athletes, according to the criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday. On October 21, days after the Mahomes and Kelce burglaries, a separate break-in occurred at the home of an unnamed Tampa Bay Buccaneers football player while the team took on the Baltimore Ravens during a home game. The suspects allegedly stole 'jewelry, Rolex watches, a Louis Vuitton suitcase, and a firearm' valued at $167,000, according to the criminal complaint. An FBI special agent from the Tampa field office was assigned to investigate. That agent later noted they have previously worked on several investigations into the Chilean theft group and the burglaries share a 'clear and consistent modus operandi,' they said in an affidavit. The burglars wait until the athletes are known to be away from home for games before breaking in, often using a crowbar to pry open a window or sliding glass door, according to the complaint. The criminals then allegedly enter the homes and steal 'jewelry, expensive watches, United States currency, and expensive merchandise.' In one theft, the complaint notes, they allegedly stole a safe and designer bags valued at over $1.4 million from a Milwaukee Bucks player. The player was later identified as Bucks forward Portis. The agent noted the suspects would often use 'throw phones' – commonly known as burners – 'for about one month before switching cellular devices or SIM cards to continue to thwart law enforcement.' The suspects then allegedly coordinated with buyers and arranged the purchase of the stolen goods in cash to make it harder for law enforcement to trace the transactions, the complaint states. But the suspects also developed another habit that would prove to be detrimental in the case – taking selfies with stolen goods to boast about their latest thefts. Investigators uncovered photos allegedly linking the men to the burglaries after performing a forensic analysis of an iCloud account and a phone linked to some of the crime scenes. 'I observed photographs of four Hispanic males with several watches, necklaces, a ring, a damaged safe, and burglary tools,' the FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. The complaint alleges Pablo Zuniga Cartes, Ignacio Zuniga Cartes and Bastian Jimenez Frerault are pictured in the selfie taken on November 2 'minutes after the burglary' of a home subsequently linked to Portis. A fourth man is also seen in the photo, but his face is redacted, the complaint states, because he has not yet been identified. Surveillance footage during the break-in shows two men entering a bedroom and stealing a safe and other valuables, according to the complaint. That same safe, the complaint alleges, is pictured in a hotel room selfie as the men pose with watches and a necklace 'consistent with the inventory' of items stolen from Portis' home. In a separate photo, the crowbar and a mallet allegedly used to pry open the safe are also visible. The complaint identifies Pablo Zuniga Cartes as the man wearing a Kansas City Chiefs shirt in the photo. The complaint alleges the T-shirt shows the men were boasting of their previous involvement in 'earlier burglaries in Kansas City' of the Mahomes and Kelce properties. A similar selfie was uncovered during a search of a cell phone connected to the burglary of Cincinnati Bengals player Burrow, CNN previously reported. The FBI investigator shared the photo of the men posing with the safe and their evidence with law enforcement in Cincinnati, who tracked the suspects using location data from one of their cell phones, according to the complaint. That investigation led to the arrest of Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, 22; Bastian Orellano Morales, 23; and Sergio Ortega Cabello, 38, during an Ohio traffic stop last month. On February 5, a federal grand jury in Cincinnati indicted all three men, who are from Chile, on felony charges in connection with the burglary of a Cincinnati Bengals football player's home. 'Our investigation remains ongoing as these individuals seem to be the alleged tip of the iceberg of South American Theft Groups committing crimes throughout our district and elsewhere,' US Attorney Kenneth L. Parker said following the indictment. Then, on Tuesday, the DOJ unsealed a separate criminal complaint that had also been filed against Sanchez, Morales and Cabello in Florida. This complaint also names Pablo Zuniga Cartes, 24; Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, 20; Bastian Jimenez Freraut, 27; and Alexander Huiaguil Chavez; 24, as alleged members of the Chilean criminal ring. They were each also charged with felony conspiracy to transport stolen goods across state lines. It is unclear if their arrest will bring about an end to the burglaries targeting athletes. Following the news of the break-in at his home in December, Bengals quarterback Burrow lamented the lack of privacy that may have contributed to the burglary. 'We live a public life and one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy, and that has been difficult to deal with my entire career,' Burrow said. 'I'm still learning, but I understand it's the life that we choose. It doesn't make it any easier to deal with.'
