Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. arrested in New York on assault charges

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested Monday on suspicion of assaulting a 26-year-old woman in New York, according to the New York City Police Department.

Porter, 23, was taken into custody on the scene and the woman was taken to a hospital, according to the spokesperson. He was held on preliminary charges of second-degree assault and strangulation, NYPD said.

Neither Porter’s representative nor the Rockets have responded to requests for comment.

Porter was selected in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft out of University of Southern California by the Milwaukee Bucks. He would later end up with the Cleveland Cavaliers after being traded twice.

Porter has played four seasons in the league – one with the Cavaliers and the past three with the Rockets. Last season he averaged 19.2 points per game.

The Rockets announced in October that the team had signed Porter to a multiyear contract extension reportedly worth over $80 million.
