Kevin Porter Jr Hopes To Return To PAOK If No Return To NBA 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Apr 28, 2024 2:38 pm

Kevin Porter Jr. had a tumultuous year before finally landing with PAOK in Greece in early April. Porter was arrested and charged with domestic violence in September. He accepted a plea deal in January.


Following the arrest, Porter was eventually traded by the Houston Rockets to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a salary-clearing move. The Thunder immediately waived Porter.


Now, Porter would like to return to PAOK if no NBA deal comes his way.


"If it is up to me, I don’t see myself, when it comes from the overseas standpoint if I am staying out here another year – if I have the opportunity to go back to the NBA, then I will probably go back to the NBA – but if it is not the NBA, I don’t want to play for another club than PAOK," Porter said. "I feel like they have welcomed me and they gave me the chance that a lot of people looked over."


Porter played in four games for PAOK. He averaged 20.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Did the NBA ever finish it's investigation into his attack on his GF? That's what they are supposed to do prior to suspension. I don't think he was ever actually suspended was he?
