Former NBA Player Kevin Porter Jr. Reaches Plea Deal Over Domestic Violence Incident

Porter pleads guilty to misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, but can withdraw assault plea after a year of good behavior and counseling.

  • Kevin Porter Jr., former NBA player, has reached a plea agreement over a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick.
  • Porter pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, stemming from the incident on Sept. 11, 2023, in their New York City hotel room.
  • Porter must complete a 26-week counseling program and abide by a limited restraining order. If he successfully completes the program and stays out of trouble for a year, he can withdraw his plea to the assault charge and cop only to harassment.
  • Gondrezick has disputed the prosecutors' allegations, stating that Porter did not hit her and that her injuries did not support the claims made by the prosecutors.
  • Following the allegations, the Houston Rockets traded Porter to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who then waived him.
