Woj: Kevin Porter's NBA future in jeopardy
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.

The Houston Rockets should cut Kevin Porter Jr. as soon possible. I get that the league is involved so their hands are tied. But as soon as the league allows, the organization should move on before another dollar of his contract gets guaranteed (which happens on opening night). – 6:49 PM
