Last time, Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested out of state in November 2020 on gun charges after a loaded handgun and marijuana were allegedly found in his car during a single-vehicle crash.

His charges were eventually dismissed after Porter claimed he was unaware of the gun.

In April 2021, he violated the league’s COVID-19 health and safety rules by visiting a Miami strip club for which the NBA fined him $50,000.

He was suspended by the Rockets in a January 2022 game after then-coach Stephen Silas said the player had a “spirited debate” and “lost his temper” at halftime.
