Kevin Porter Jr.‘s NBA career could be over, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Appearing on the NBA on ESPN show (YouTube video link), Wojnarowski noted that the serious allegations against the Rockets guard, plus his past issues, have put his career in jeopardy.
“There’s no question, Kevin Porter‘s future, not just with the Rockets, but in the NBA, is very much in peril,” he said. “These are extremely serious allegations.”
Porter was arrested in New York City on felony charges involving a domestic incident with his girlfriend. The alleged attack on his girlfriend left her with a fractured neck vertebra and a deep cut above her right eye.
The league could place him on administrative leave until its investigation into the incident is complete.
We have more from the Southwest Division:
- Sports injury expert Jeff Stotts believes the biggest issue regarding Trey Murphy‘s meniscus tear is the possibility of re-injury in the future, William Guillory of The Athletic writes. The Pelicans wing will now be at an increased risk for future meniscus problems, Stotts told Guillory in a Q&A season discussing the injury and the recovery process. Murphy underwent surgery for a partially torn left meniscus last week with a projected timeline of 10-12 weeks to return to action.
- Zion Williamson‘s health will be the key to the Pelicans’ season, according to Shaun Powell of NBA.com. The team is built around him and another injury-riddled season could test New Orleans’ patience regarding its current franchise player.
- In case you missed it, the Spurs waived Cameron Payne on Monday. Get the details here.
Porter has always been a knucklehead. He once said sitting at the end of the cavs bench was “modern day slavery”. Now he can get a job at Amazon or something working in a warehouse. Good riddance
He doesn’t even deserve a warehouse job, he should be locked up
He was a question mark on draft day. Doubt anyone is going to risk their rep and take a chance on him.
Can’t believe I bought his #824 / 1800 rare THROWDOWNS nba top shot moment for like 20$
Lol
Charlotte will take him
Bridges is a saint compared to Porter. His girlfriend hit him to start the fight plus stalked Bridges to make sure he was not cheating on him. She has issues with anger too.
A bad apple is still a bad apple buddy. Bridges beat the holy hell out of the mother of his child in front of that child in the middle of the street. Honestly the fact that you’re trying to defend him at all, in any fashion, for any reason is pretty alarming.
Wasted talent ….. should never play.
This man has serious issues. And is the ultimate B!accch. Beats up women. If you read the info. Her family is not happy. And will not let this go away. He’s doing time for sure. And he better watch his back.
This is one of the few times that I agree with the Sharia justice system.
Waste of carbon
Good. Finally move on from KPJ in Houston. I think Chet and Christopher can do well in his place
I thought the Rockets gave up on Christopher, Washington and Garuba this off-season. Like, literal salary dumps.
