Damn: Ex NBA Player, Kevin Porter Jr. Is Now Playing In Greece For $10K After Losing His $80M Contract!
via Bleacher Report: Former Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. agreed to a deal with Greek club PAOK BC, according to Shams Charania and Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
The Rockets traded Porter to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who subsequently waived him in October after he was arrested and charged with the assault and strangulation of his girlfriend. In January, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and a harassment violation in a deal with prosecutors.
As part of the plea agreement, the 23-year-old will avoid jail time if he completes a treatment program and fulfills the terms of an order of protection.
The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Porter with the 30th pick in the 2019 NBA draft. While he has flashed some promise on the court, his off-court actions have stunted his pro career. || Posted by CZ
