Rockets Kevin Porter Jr. arrested for felony assault and strangulation

[D-Wait]

Cavs dodged a bullet and did the right thing by trading him. Too many off court incidents surrounding him since college and now this?

[D-Wait]

Not just cut but we are looking at a hefty suspension if not outright ban from the league. She had a broken bone and multiple bruises according to reports.

Wow.

Wish the rockets just cut him

Domestic abusers should never get a second chance.

NBA is a privilege.

I'm still pissed about Miles Bridges. He beat up his baby momma in front of their damn kid and he gets allowed back in the NBA?

Each circumstances are different. Not making excuses, but Bridges that was his first real incident, and there was clearly domestic issues on both sides. This is that same baby momma trying to break into his house a couple months later in front of the same child:

With Porter he's had multiple run ins with police and off court issues.

You're confusing KPJ with Jalen Green

Dudes like i prol said before, there needs to be a stiff penalty for strangling people. I can understand hitting or whatever, i can understand putting your bud or someone you are trying to calm down in the head lock, but actual face on hands around the neck sort of strangulation is very aggressive behavior. Its like serial killer level stuff, even if you let go. Ppl prol wont see what i mean but thats a whole nother level of violence esp to a woman (assuming was?)

People who do shit like that need jail time and a reality check. I for one have never strangled or been strangled. Dono if ive even seen it. Many head locks, lite sleepers etc when we were young but strangling someone is basically telling them i hold ur life in my hands and maybe ill let go and maybe i wont.

I take this back if he like grabbed by neck and choke slammed haha thats vile but not nearly as heinous.

punching her several times with a closed fist isn't understandable

Kidd would be just a footnote

I vaguely remember as a kid Iverson in the news for beating up his wife and tossing her out on the front lawn of his mansion.

It seems it was much easier to get away with stuff in the past than nowadays.

If we go back to Babe Ruth days every star would be cancelled.

Agree man. It's crazy how I used to watch the Simpsons and a staple of the show was Homer strangling Bart whenever he messed up. Crazy how mainstream media normalized it although I assume the reason they did so was because it was way more normal back in the day when things were less PC.

Cartoons used to kill each other. I mean, how many times had Yo Semite Sam would regularly kill folks. Wile E Coyote always gets blown up or falls off a clip.
As a child, I thought is was funny but never thought anything of it.

In a Tuesday television appearance, ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski shared his insight. Among his comments: The league has launched an investigation, and they will handle it in the near-term. The Houston Rockets, by the by-laws, they can’t suspend or waive him while this investigation is going on. But Adam Silver could put Porter on administrative leave. There’s no question that Kevin Porter Jr.’s future, not just with the Rockets but in the NBA, is very much in peril. These are extremely serious allegations.
