The Houston Area Women’s Center is demanding that the NBA ban Kevin Porter Jr. amid the allegations of assaulting his girlfriend. Further reports say in connection with the incident, the Houston Rockets shooting guard was arrested in New York and faced charges.

Domestic violence victim advocacy group Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC) reportedly demanded that the National Basketball Association (NBA) ban Houston Rockets shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr., 23, amid the allegations of assaulting his girlfriend, former Women’s NBA player Kysre Gondrezick, 26.

Furthermore, the Houston Rockets shooting guard was taken in custody since 6:45 a.m. of that day and was ordered to post cash worth $75,000 or secure a bond of $100,000 to be released.
