- The Houston Rockets are trying to trade Kevin Porter Jr.
- The team is willing to attach picks to Porter Jr. to move him
- Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested due to a domestic violence incident
The Houston Rockets are a young team that is primed to make a huge leap next season. However, they have been dealing with a lot of issues in recent memory regarding one of their players.
Guard Kevin Porter Jr. has his NBA future on the line, with the NBA launching a full investigation into his domestic assault incident. The details released thus far have been horrific, and it is quite possible that he will never play in the NBA again. It was also reported that the Houston Rockets will be trading Kevin Porter Jr., after his attack on his girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick. Shams Charania recently provided an update on the situation, revealing that the team is willing to move multiple picks to trade the guard.
“Houston is actively engaged with multiple teams on a Kevin Porter Jr. trade. Sources tell me that the Rockets are incentivizing a deal with several second-round draft picks…”

There is no doubt that this is a serious situation, and it is clear that the Houston Rockets are ready to be done with Kevin Porter Jr. as of now. We will see whether they will be able to move him in the future or whether the team will simply have to waive him themselves.
Adam Silver Spoke About The Allegations Against Kevin Porter Jr.
We recently saw commissioner Adam Silver break his silence on the horrific allegations about Kevin Porter Jr., with Silver noting that he doesn’t know about the “actual facts” aside from what he has read. The commissioner also stated that the league has a “domestic violence policy”, and it seems quite likely that the league will punish Kevin Porter Jr. for his actions.
“Yes, the allegations here are horrific,” Silver said, speaking at a news conference following the Board of Governors meeting. “No question about it. But I don’t know any more about the actual facts other than reading those allegations. We have a domestic violence policy that was collectively bargained with the players association. When I say bargained, it was not a contentious issue. They certainly feel as strongly as we do about the issue.”
It remains to be seen how the league takes action on this situation, on top of the punishment given out by the law. There have been some suggestions that Kevin Porter Jr. could be placed on administrative leave by Adam Silver due to the league’s domestic violence policy, and it is quite possible that Kevin Porter Jr. will not play in the league again.
Prosecutors Shared Gruesome Details About Kevin Porter Jr.’s Attack On Kysre Gondreszick
There is no doubt that what is coming out so far about Kevin Porter Jr’s attack on his girlfriend is horrific. Prosecutors previously revealed disturbing details about Porter Jr.’s violent activity, with the report noting that Porter choked Gondrezick.
“Gondrezick 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. “Prosecutors said Porter didn’t stop until Gondrezick ran out into the hallway covered in blood.”
There is no doubt that this is extremely concerning, and hopefully, we see Kevin Porter Jr. get a punishment as a result of his trial. Domestic violence is an extremely serious matter, and all we can hope for now is that the judicial system does what it is supposed to do.
