Kevin Porter Jr. News
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was recently arrested for reportedly assaulting his girlfriend. The 23-year-old is expected to have legal consequences and the NBA is likely to punish Porter after the legal investigation is over. In wake of this, the Rockets are attempting to trade Porter and draft compensation in exchange for an immediate impact player. It's tough to imagine any organization trading for Porter after this incident. The Rockets are trying to get something with Porter's career in jeopardy, but it's unlikely that any team bites on this.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski believes Houston Rockets guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr.'s future is "very much in peril" following Monday's arrest. While Houston cannot suspend or release him while the NBA conducts an investigation, the 23-year-old is certainly in a precarious position. Commissioner Adam Silver could elect to put Porter on administrative leave during this time, as the assault allegations against him don't sound good at all. KPJ's checkered past also includes "personal conduct issues" from his USC days and a locker room outburst during his Cleveland Cavaliers career. Fantasy managers drafting at this stage might want to consider steering clear of the mercurial combo guard with anything besides a late-round pick despite nearly recording top-50 roto value a year ago.
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested on Monday in New York City for charges of assault and strangulation. According to the report, Porter assaulted his girlfriend in a hotel room after the two of them were in an argument. Porter is currently being held at the New York City Police Department. The assumption is that Porter will have to deal with legal ramifications from this incident. Also, the NBA might decide to discipline Porter as well. This is a messy situation that probably won't be resolved right away.
