NEW YORK – Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested after attacking his girlfriend inside a midtown Manhattan hotel room, according to senior law enforcement officials cited by NBC New York.

quote:

WNBC reported Porter allegedly attacked the victim overnight Monday at the Millennium Hotel near Times Square. His girlfriend was taken to the hospital with at least one broken bone and bruising, the outlet reported. The alleged incident began after the pair had been out. She returned to the room, but Porter got locked out, sources said, and the altercation escalated from there. After the incident, hotel security was called and they alerted police. WNBC reported Porter was charged with second-degree assault and strangulation.

Yeah. Fell in the draft because he was a dumbass then got traded from Cleveland because he threw a fit when they moved his locker.

ETA: The girl is no angel either. She previously got a domestic violence charge when she was with Dwyane Haskins. Not saying she deserved a beating, just she's dished some out before.

I believe the one who was arrested for assault was her sister.

She was arrested for punching her husband, the late Dwayne Haskins, at a Vegas club and knocking out one of his teeth.

Porter needs to make sure his passport is current. Although if Myles Bridges can come back then maybe Porter can too.

He’s already made his first appearance in court.

quote:

MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- NBA player Kevin Porter Jr. pleaded not guilty Tuesday to assaulting his girlfriend after he was arrested in Manhattan on Monday.

The Houston Rockets guard was released on $75,000 cash bail. The judge imposed a temporary order of protection.

Porter, 23, is charged with assault and strangulation. According to the criminal complaint, the 26-year-old girlfriend told police Porter struck her "repeatedly about the face with a closed fist, causing a laceration above her right eye and bruising and substantial pain to her face."

The woman said Porter applied "pressure to her neck by forcefully squeezing it, causing her to experience difficulty breathing, redness and bruising to her neck, and substantial pain," the complaint said.

She was taken NYU Langone Medical Center where doctors said she suffered a fractured vertebrae in her neck. Sources say the victim is a former WNBA player.

Reading about the injuries, I’m surprised Miles Bridges didn’t get jail time.

This sounds even worse though.

Also, if you were going to have an anonymous poll where NBA players were asked who is the biggest team cancer and most disliked teammate, I suspect Kevin Porter would have been the runaway winner.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Bridges paid her off big time to not show up or cooperate.

Porter just has evil eyes. This won’t be his last time being arrested

Oops my bad.
Porter's done though. Bridges was just a wannabe rapper but he wasn't a noted problem child like KPJ.

I remember LeVarr Arrington saying at the time, "I'm sorry, but if you knock out one of my teeth, we can't stay married".
