The Houston Rockets are trying to trade Kevin Porter Jr. after he was charged with felony assault and strangulation, sources told The Athletic’s Shams Charania on Wednesday.
Porter is accused of attacking his girlfriend in an incident Monday morning. He was placed into police custody before being released, with his court date set for Oct. 16.
Houston is attempting to lure teams into taking on Porter and his new four-year, $82.5-million deal by attaching draft compensation to a trade, Charania adds.
