The New York Post reported on the story, writing, “Cops nabbed the 23-year-old pro baller at around 6:30 a.m. after receiving a 911 call for an assault at the four-star Millenium Hilton New York Hotel at 1 UN Plaza, according to the NYPD and police sources.
“The NBA player allegedly hit Gondrezick multiple times and placed his hands around her neck, cops said.
“The alleged assault took place after the couple went out Sunday night and later returned to the hotel, according to sources.”
Kevin Porter Jr. has been charged with strangulation along with second-degree assault and could find himself facing serious punishment if he has done what he is being accused of.
Social media is already blowing up following the report, and speculation is sure to follow. Considering Gondrezick’s injuries, this could end Kevin Porter Jr.’s career if the allegations are true.
Kysre Gondrezick Has Suffered At Least One Broken Bone And Bruising
Kysre Gondrezick is a former WNBA player for the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky, and the 26-year-old is Kevin Porter Jr.’s girlfriend.
According to reports, the assault occurred after Porter Jr. was locked out of their room and it escalated from there. NBC New York revealed the extent of Gondrezick’s injuries.
“Porter Jr. 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, law enforcement officials told NBC New York.:
That sounds painful, and the hope will be that Gondrezick can recover from her injuries quickly. As for Kevin Porter Jr., any comments should be reserved until more facts regarding the case come to light.
The Houston Rockets And The NBA Are In The Process Of Gathering More Information
The news has blown up in the past few hours, and naturally, people want to know what the Houston Rockets and the NBA have to say about the situation. NBC New York wrote that both parties are still trying to discern the facts for themselves.
“In a statement, the Rockets said that they were ‘in the process of gathering information surrounding the matter,’ and said they had no further comment. The NBA said they were aware of the reports and were ‘in the process of gathering more information.'”
Kevin Porter Jr. has a past when it comes to brushes with the law. In 2020, he was charged with improper handling of a firearm after a car accident. It hampered his career, and this situation will surely cause some problems for him as well.
The Houston Rockets man is just 23 years old, and it is sad to see him being involved in situations of this nature. Kevin Porter Jr. has looked promising for the Houston Rockets but basketball will be the last thing anyone talks about about him until all the facts in this case come to light.
