Adrian Wojnarowski: The Thunder are acquiring a 2027 second via Minnesota and a 2028 second via Milwaukee in the deal, sources said. Porter Jr., is facing assault charges based on an incident with a girlfriend. OKC is essentially buying the two picks and releasing Porter Jr. -via Twitter @wojespn / October 17, 2023
Adrian Wojnarowski: Thunder will have to pay the $16.9M guaranteed left on Porter Jr., contract as they waive him. OKC gathered four second-round picks in acquiring and moving Oladipo’s $9.5M expiring deal this offseason. OKC has 15 first-round and 22 second-round picks over the next seven years. -via Twitter @wojespn / October 17, 2023
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. didn’t break his girlfriend’s neck during an alleged fight at their hotel, Manhattan prosecutors admitted in court Monday — as they said they’d drop one of the assault charges against him. Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Mirah Curzer said the office was tossing the charge of second-degree assault against Porter, 23, because of “insufficient evidence,” after it was revealed that the NBA player didn’t actually break girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick’s neck. -via New York Post / October 16, 2023
