Wed Sep 13 202319:56Rockets Looking To Trade Kevin Porter Jr.
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. was recently arrested for reportedly assaulting his girlfriend. The 23-year-old is expected to have legal consequences and the NBA is likely to punish Porter after the legal investigation is over. In wake of this, the Rockets are attempting to trade Porter and draft compensation in exchange for an immediate impact player. It's tough to imagine any organization trading for Porter after this incident. The Rockets are trying to get something with Porter's career in jeopardy, but it's unlikely that any team bites on this.

Tue Sep 12 202322:12Kevin Porter Jr.’s NBA Future In Jeopardy
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski believes Houston Rockets guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr.'s future is "very much in peril" following Monday's arrest. While Houston cannot suspend or release him while the NBA conducts an investigation, the 23-year-old is certainly in a precarious position. Commissioner Adam Silver could elect to put Porter on administrative leave during this time, as the assault allegations against him don't sound good at all. KPJ's checkered past also includes "personal conduct issues" from his USC days and a locker room outburst during his Cleveland Cavaliers career. Fantasy managers drafting at this stage might want to consider steering clear of the mercurial combo guard with anything besides a late-round pick despite nearly recording top-50 roto value a year ago.

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Porter hasn't played all month and could very well miss all of February. In his absence, Kenyon Martin Jr. will continue seeing increased playing time. He has been a top-100 player in 9-cat formats over the last month. Fantasy managers should snag Martin until Porter is able to get back on the court.

Tue Jan 31 202315:40Kevin Porter Jr. Still Without Return Date
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has missed the last nine consecutive games and still remains without an estimated return date or timetable. He said that he hasn't started any basketball activities outside of just some dribbling work and is primarily rehabbing. Since the Rockets know they aren't competing for much this season, they're not going to rush Porter back into the mix. Fantasy managers in need of someone in the meantime will want to look toward Eric Gordon as a streaming option and maybe even Josh Christopher in deeper leagues.

Sat Jan 28 202312:57Kevin Porter Jr. Out Again On Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Porter continues to battle a left foot contusion, an ailment that's already cost him his last eight games. With Jalen Green (calf) sidelined as well, the Rockets will need someone to handle the ball, a role that could be reserved for rookie TyTy Washington Jr., who recently scored 10 points in 29 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to Cleveland. Washington may serve a purpose for those looking to fill a spot in deeper formats, although he's still a risky fantasy option. There's also a chance Jae'Sean Tate will get the start. If that's the case, Tate should be the preferred fantasy option over Washington.

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) will miss a sixth consecutive game Monday versus Minnesota. He hurt his left foot a couple of weeks back and it looks like Porter Jr. will sit out at least one more week, with the Rockets planning to re-evaluate him at the weekend.

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The young guard will miss his second game in a row as he continues to deal with a left foot contusion. The good news is, Jalen Green is set to return after serving his one-game suspension. He should see an increased role with Porter on the sideline. Veteran guard Eric Gordon will also likely see more minutes and scoring chances without Porter available. He's worth considering as a low-end streaming option for Monday's slate.

Fri Jan 13 202320:22Kevin Porter Jr. Misses Friday's Game
Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) will miss his second game of the season Friday versus Sacramento. He hurt his left foot in a collision with teammate Jae'Sean Tate Wednesday when these two teams also met. Porter Jr. exited after logging only 10 minutes and his absence gave more playmaking duties to Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. The latter ended up posting a 10-10-10 triple-double. Porter Jr.'s exit also helped Kenyon Martin Jr. to have a nice 21-point outing on Wednesday. He could now be looking at his ninth start of the season, and the 22-year-old has posted 13.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in the starting unit this season.

Tue Dec 27 202208:15Kevin Porter Jr. Tallies Season-High 36 Points
Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. led the charge against Chicago on Monday, posting a season-high 36 points in a 133-118 win with seven rebounds and nine assists. After being able to make only seven attempts from deep across his previous five appearances, Porter Jr. went 6-for-12 from downtown and shot 14-for-22 overall from the field. He also had just two turnovers for a second consecutive outing, which is a huge improvement from his season average of 3.8. Porter Jr. tends to be very inconsistent, but he's a very exciting player who can fill the box score with ease when he's in the groove. It was certainly so on Monday. He will get three more games this week to build momentum for 2023.

Wed Dec 7 202218:51Kevin Porter Jr. In Doubt To Play On Thursday
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been listed as questionable for the Thursday night contest against the San Antonio Spurs. So far, the 22-year-old has been very consistent in his availability as he's missed only one game this season. He didn't seem to leave their last game against the Philadelphia 76ers with any serious ailments, so this could be a precautionary status. If he doesn't suit up, Kenyon Martin Jr. was the one to replace him in the starting lineup last time. He would serve as a solid streaming option as well.
