NBA player arrested for domestic violence

The Houston Rockets player has been accused of assaulting and strangling his partner, a former WNBA player.

Kevin Porter Jr, player of the Houston Rockets in the NBA, was arrested this Monday by the New York police. He was accused of assaulting his girlfriend in a New York hotel. The police went to the hotel around 6:45 this Monday morning and took the 23-year-old basketball player into custody.

Reported information indicates that the NBA member arrived late at the hotel, where he was with his girlfriend; Kysre Gondrezick (former WNBA player, son of former Estudiantes de Bahía Blanca player; Grant Gondrezick). The player leaves him outside the room, which angers the player. After reaching the hotel workers, he was able to enter the premises. Far from calming the anger, the situation continued to escalate until it all turned physical. The player hit his partner and allegedly performed hanging actions.

The police report on Kevin Porter Jr.:

“Officers were informed that a 26-year-old woman suffered injuries to the right side of her face and complained of pain in her neck,” an NYPD spokesman said. “A preliminary investigation determined that an individual hit him several times in the body and put his hands around his neck,” he explained. The player remains in custody at a Manhattan police station.

The Houston Rockets have yet to make a determination on the case. They released a brief statement indicating that they were conducting an investigation. “We are in the process of gathering information regarding the matter involving Kevin Porter Jr.”, indicated the Texas franchise. The NBA has recently been implicated in various acts of domestic violence. The competition has zero tolerance for cases of gender-based violence, which will jeopardize the player’s participation in the next season.

Kevin Porter Jr., currently working for the Houston Rockets. Last year, his best season in the NBA, he averaged 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. Gondrezick, for his part, is 26 years old. He is a free agent and currently does not have a team WNBA where he previously played for Indiana fever and the Chicago Sky.
