12:39 PM PT<\/strong> — The National Organization for Women<\/strong> is outraged as well … telling us Porter Jr. shouldn’t be in the NBA after he was arrested.<\/p>\n

“The NBA and the Houston Rockets have a choice here – condone or condemn,” NOW President Christian F. Nunes<\/strong> told us on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“Does the NBA simply allow a trade and, in turn, permit this type of behavior? Or will the NBA stand against domestic violence and hold players accountable?”<\/p>\n

“Kysre Gondrezick was hospitalized with brutal injuries – this shouldn’t be a conversation about which team takes Kevin Porter. It should be about how he is no longer part of the league for a felony domestic violence arrest.”<\/p>\n

A domestic violence victim advocacy group based in Houston is calling out the NBA, demanding the league institute tougher punishment when it comes to disciplining players like Rockets G Kevin Porter Jr.<\/strong> … who was recently arrested for allegedly assaulting his GF.<\/p>\n

“At what point do leagues say it has gone too far?” Houston Area Women’s Center<\/strong> president and CEO Emilee Whitehurst <\/strong>told us, adding, “Surely it should have happened before now.”<\/p>\n

Whitehurst continued … “We challenge the NBA and similar professional leagues to strengthen their domestic violence policy and to hold offenders accountable.”<\/p>\n

Of course, Porter Jr. — a first-round pick in 2019 — was arrested on Monday<\/strong>, and has been accused of hitting and strangulating his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick<\/strong>, during the violent incident in NYC.<\/p>\n

Kysre reportedly suffered a gash above her eye during the incident.<\/p>\n

The NBA released a statement shortly after the arrest, and say they’re looking into the alleged incident. Porter Jr. is still currently on the Rockets team.<\/p>\n

But, perhaps not for long. There are reports stating the organization is looking to trade KPJ.<\/p>\n

Whether there will be any takers is the question … as it’s not the first time Porter Jr. has allegedly gotten himself into trouble — something the domestic violence org noted.<\/p>\n

“HAWC is calling for public outcry against athletic leagues paying and promoting people with violent reputations. Porter has a longstanding reputation of concerning conduct. He has been suspended, fined, and now arrested for felony assault and strangulation.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Houston Area Women’s Center then went on to call on fans to take action and stop supporting players who allegedly engage in domestic violence.<\/p>\n

“We need an entire community to mobilize, to not just say this is wrong, but to act.”<\/p>\n

As for Porter Jr., he has not yet addressed the arrest. He’s due back in court in mid-October.<\/p>\n
