NEW YORK, USA – Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr was suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Monday, November 4 (Tuesday, November 5, Philippine time) for improperly making contact with a game official, the league announced.
The incident took place at the end of the 3rd quarter of Sunday’s 131-111 victory by the Dallas Mavericks at Cleveland.
Porter will miss the Cavaliers’ Tuesday home game against Boston.
The Cavaliers are off to a 2-4 start to the 2019-2020 campaign while the Mavericks are 4-2.
Porter, a 19-year-old guard, was the 30th and final pick of the first round in this year’s NBA Draft by Milwaukee but was traded to Cleveland via Detroit.
The Seattle left-hander made his NBA debut in a start 12 days ago in a loss to Orlando.
Porter’s father was fatally shot in July 2004 while trying to help someone being attacked. Kevin Jr, only 4 at the time, was raised by his mother.
After a stellar prep career, Porter played one college season at Southern California before making himself eligible for the NBA Draft. – Rappler.com
