On January 5, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. In recent times, Rockets player Kevin Porter Jr. has been the focus of media and fans. In the Rockets' loss to the Nuggets, he clashed with assistant coach Lucas and subsequently refused to play for the team. For this, Porter was banned by the Rockets for one game.
Earlier today, Rockets reporter Jonathan Feigen posted a training video of Porter, writing: "After the team's training, Porter practiced shooting. ”
So far this season, the 21-year-old Porter has averaged 29.8 minutes per game, averaging 12.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 36.6 percent from the field and 32.8 percent from three-point range.
As a young player topped by the Rockets, Porter has been disappointing on and off the court this season. Earlier today, Rockets reporters Adam Spolane and Adam Abramson spoke about the team's attitude toward Porter.
Adam Abramson wrote: "In my opinion, I'm not going to give up on Porter Jr. after he makes a mistake. ”
Adam Spolane wrote: "For a young man like Porter, it's not just basketball. The Rockets aren't going to give up on him that soon, and this team really cares about him. Could this be a bad decision? Let's wait and see. ”
Adam Spolane then went on to write: "It took the Rockets a year to make Potter feel at home in Houston, and he was a part of it. Considering Porter's upbringing and past experiences, imagine how ruthless it would be if the Rockets had thrown him aside after he had made a mistake. We're not playing games, it's real life. ”
In any case, the current situation of the Rockets can be described as stormy. They are currently experiencing a wave of 8 consecutive defeats, and the team's record is only 10 wins and 28 losses, ranking first from the bottom in the West! According to the schedule, the Rockets will challenge the Wizards tomorrow, and Porter is likely to make a comeback.
