Kevin Porter Jr. Reaches Plea Deal for Assault Charges

Former Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. reached a plea deal in a Manhattan court related to an altercation with his ex-girlfriend, ex-WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick. He agreed to reckless assault and harassment charges, and if he completes counseling and abides by a restraining order, he can withdraw his plea to the assault charge in a year. The NBA typically waits for the legal process to conclude before making a decision on potential suspension for the player, and while Porter's performance on the court may lead to a new contract in the future, teams will likely conduct thorough background checks due to concerns about his off-court behavior.
