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 😤😤,”saidPortis 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.
