Rockets ban Kevin Porter Jr. indefinitely following domestic violence arrest

  • Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested last month for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend in a New York hotel room.
  • The Houston Rockets have barred Porter from participating in team activities until further notice.
  • Porter pleaded not guilty to felony assault and strangulation charges and will appear in court on October 16.
  • The Rockets distanced themselves from Porter, with GM Rafael Stone calling the allegations "deeply troubling."
  • Porter's status with the team and in the NBA going forward will be determined by the league's collective bargaining agreement and domestic violence policy.
