Kevin Porter Jr. said he never doubted that he would be back in the NBA after serving a one-year hiatus that included a six-week stretch in Greece following an incident in a New York hotel that led to since-reduced assault charges. His return to Houston, where he had his greatest NBA success, felt right, even a homecoming. “It was dope, man,” Porter said of being back on the Toyota Center floor. “It’s good being in my old stomping grounds. We always have that relationship. There are relationships that I have (from) being here still. It’s a good feeling coming back home.”
“I never thought I wouldn’t be (back in the NBA,)” Porter said. “I feel like I was supposed to be here, I belong here. Things happen. It’s a business. We’re not just pawns or robots. We’re human, also. We got things that go on outside the business that can affect the business. I’m just happy to get this opportunity to be here, where I feel like I belong. work hard. I teach myself a lot. I learn from myself and from others. So, I’m in a very comfortable space.”
Porter said he and Rockets fans “had a great relationship” and that he does not believe that has changed. “Hopefully, they still love me,” Porter said. “I love them.”

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer: We wanted Paul George back, we made him a big offer
“We wanted Paul George back,” Steve Ballmer said. “We made him a big offer. We really wanted him here. We just wanted to not put ourselves in a position where we can’t consistently be good. We offered them the max for three years and Philly offered them the max for four years. OK, I get it. But in terms of our trajectory and staying really good, it was really going to be an issue for us. “The truth is, with Paul not coming back, we were able to upgrade our team. We don’t [sign] Derrick Jones Jr. if Paul comes back. We don’t [sign] Kris Dunn, [or have] our new defensive identity. Might not have [signed] Kevin Porter Jr., Nicolas Batum. … You could say, well, they’re not Paul George. No, they’re not Paul George.”
Law Murray: LA Clippers rule out Kawhi Leonard (right knee rehab), Mo Bamba (left knee soreness), Trentyn Flowers (left wrist surgery) for today vs Warriors Kevin Porter Jr. is eligible to play as NBA investigation is ongoing.
