Hugh media hinted at the end of Porter's Rockets career: White Devils/A soup will benefit Uduka's 11-man rotation has been cleared
On September 12, Beijing time, according to Eyewitness News, rocket player Kevin Porter has been arrested by police on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend, a former WNBA player, in a hotel. The case is currently pending, and Porter's girlfriend has accused Porter of domestic violence.
According to ESPN, the league's domestic violence policy: Adam Shaw has the right to give Kevin Porter Jr. a reasonable period of time off for pay.
Salary structure expert Bobby Marks noted that Porter Jr. won't have any penalties until the league fully investigates, but the Rockets can let Porter Jr. leave during training camp. Porter signed a four-year, $72.6 million contract with the Rockets last year, and the Domestic Violence Policy gives the league the right to cancel the contract. Then Porter's 4-year 72.6 million contract may be waived by the Rockets, this contract fully guarantees 15.9 million in the 23-24 season, only 1 million in the 24-25 season, and the next two seasons are not guaranteed.
In other words, once Porter's domestic violence allegation is established, the punishment against Porter is not limited to contract clearance, suspension, community service, restraining order, etc.
Rocket media outlet Biased Houston hinted that Kevin Porter Jr.'s career with the Houston Rockets was over. A day ago, they were still interviewing Porter's training, but they didn't expect that a day later, Porter had a domestic violence incident, and the rocket media was very helpless.
One Rockets fan quipped: Uduka is bound to bring Whitmore back from the G League into the rotation.
Porter was the Rockets' starter last season, even if VanVleet, Dillon, A Tang, and the White Devil come, he will have a certain amount of playing time on the Rockets, but if he is waived by the Rockets due to domestic violence, then the White Devils/A Soup will definitely benefit, and the two will share Porter's playing time.
The most likely 11-man rotation for the Rockets in the new season will be: VanVleet, Dillon, Easen, Smith Jr., Shenjing, A Tang, Landale, Whitmore, Jeff Green, Tate, Holloday.
