Days after apparently having a tantrum on his locker, Kevin Porter Jr. would see his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers come to an end. Cleveland trades Porter to the Houston Rockets in exchange for a future protected second-round pick, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Porter, a first-round pick in the 2019 draft, reportedly had a blast on Friday after discovering his old record had been reassigned to Taurean Prince. Porter’s new locker was located in an area reserved for younger, bench-end players, according to Jason Lloyd, Joe Vardon, Kelsey Russo and Shams Charania of Athletic.

Porter allegedly threw food in the locker while he was upset, forcing Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman to intervene. The team have attempted to swap Porter since the incident and were determined to release him if a deal couldn’t be reached.
The trade comes two months after Porter was involved in a car accident where he was arrested and charged with mishandling a firearm in a motor vehicle, failing to control the vehicle and possession of marijuana.
Porter has not played this season due to personal issues. He averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 50 games as a rookie last season.
