- Kevin Porter Jr. situation only gets worse after latest report from New York prosecutors
- Rockets star allegedly rammed is car into his ex-girlfriend’s ride
- NBA expected to come down hard after concluding their investigation
Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. is facing some serious accusations after an incident in a New York City hotel room this week. According to reports, the 23-year-old was taken into custody after beating his girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick and leaving her with bruises and a broken vertebrae.
It remains to be seen what kind of backlash Kevin Porter will face over the next few weeks, but each new details that emerges on this situation spells bad news for the former USC star. “Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Mirah Curzer said Porter has a history of abusing Gondrezick, including an incident in which he rammed his car into hers,” wrote ABC Houston. The fans are completely shocked with this latest development out of Houston, but it won’t come without severe consequence for Porter Jr. According to claims, he was so aggressive against his girlfriend that he left her with difficulty breathing.
“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.”
Needless to say, the scene was pretty gruesome and it was clearly bad enough for the police to bring official charges against the Rockets star. Now, his very NBA future hangs in the balance.
Domestic Violence Is A Capital Offense In The NBA
Kevin Porter Jr. is hardly the first player to get caught assaulting his partner. Over the years, several players have faced similar accusations and it didn’t end well for any of them. In the case of Hornets swingman Miles Bridges, who is the most recent example, he was given a 30 day suspension from the league for his actions, which include domestic violence and child abuse.
We don’t yet know what will happen with Porter Jr., but the NBA is already launching a full investigation and they are expected to come down harsh given Porter’s controversial history. The truth is, the NBA cares deeply about its image and they will do whatever it takes to protect their brand from those who do it harm.
Kevin Porter Jr. May Never Play In The NBA Again
The severity of the situation at hand is really causing many to question if Kevin Porter Jr. may have just killed his own basketball career. As the 30th pick in the 2018 Draft, the kid was making some big strides on the court for Houston before this ugly series of events changed everything.
Unlike with first offenders, Porter Jr. has a history of anger problems and the league will taker that into full consideration when they hand down their punishment. “Adam Silver could put him on administrative leave, but certainly his future in Houston is very much in jeopardy. Going back a number of years, problems have followed him. There’s no question Kevin Porter Jr.’s future in the NBA is very much in peril,” said ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Over the next few days and week, the police and the NBA will conduct a thorough investigation and Porter Jr. will face some kind of penalty, whether it’s through a fine, a suspension, or potential even jail time. Regardless of how it ends, the people want to see justice done and we can all expect a lengthy process as the facts get brought into the light.
