(Adnkronos) – NBA player Kevin Porter Jr was arrested on charges of assaulting and attempting to strangle his girlfriend. The two were staying at the Millennium Hotel in New York and, according to a police report, she locked him out of the room.

The Rockets released a statement to ESPN following the arrest. “We are gathering information on the matter involving Kevin Porter Jr.,” the statement read. “We have no further comment at this time.” —[email protected] (Web Info)
