Cleveland's Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) not expected to return after outburst
According to The Athletic, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. "is expected to be traded or released following an outburst on Friday in the locker room."
What It Means:
After a confrontation with general manager Koby Altman, the Cavaliers are reportedly ready to move their 20-year old shooting guard to other teams via trade or release. With Porter Jr. likely off the roster, expect Isaac Okoro to play big minutes for Cleveland going forward.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 1161.8 minutes last season, Porter Jr. averaged 0.80 FanDuel points per minute and a 20.9% usage rate.
