Kevin Porter Jr Hopes To Return To PAOK If No NBA Deal Comes
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.
