Kevin Porter Jr.’s time with the Houston Rockets is over, after the team agreed Tuesday to trade him and a pair of second-round draft picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press.
The Rockets also will receive Victor Oladipo and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl as part of the trade, the person said.
Porter is owed nearly $15.9 million for this season and an additional $1 million that was guaranteed for next season.
The Rockets already had told Porter that he was essentially barred from the team after it learned of his arrest on domestic violence charges last month.
Porter was arrested after an alleged attack on his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, in a New York City hotel room Sept. 11.
