Eligibility
Availability
Kevin Porter Jr. (head) carries no injury designation for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.
Fantasy Impact
Porter suffered a head injury in Monday's win over the Warriors, but it isn't a serious issue and he carries no injury designation for Wednesday's game. He should play and will be primed for more work than usual with Norman Powell (hamstring) set to be out for the Clippers.
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said that he expects Kevin Porter Jr. to be fine.
Fantasy Impact
Porter left Monday's game against the Warriors late. His status will be worth monitoring as the week progresses.
Kevin Porter Jr. scored 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 3P, 3-6 FT) with six rebounds, five assists, and a steal in the Clippers' 105-103 win over the Raptors on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Porter's 15 points led the Clippers bench in this contest. He's been in double-digit points in each of the last two games while also being a fairly consistent rebounder and passer. He'll look to rebuild his value on the Clippers and maybe become starting caliber as they pursue a title.
Kevin Porter Jr. has agreed to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Fantasy Impact
The deal includes a player option. Porter previously reached a plea agreement of a third-degree reckless assault misdemeanor in January. He is in the process of completing a court-ordered program, and once completed his plea will move to not-guilty with no criminal record. He played well enough in Greece which led to several NBA teams having interest in him.
Kevin Porter Jr. will not be a part of the Rockets' team this season.
Fantasy Impact
Porter has been absent from the team since being arrested for sexual assault, and it's now being reported that Houston has reached out to his representatives and told them that they won't be having him back on the team this year. It's unknown if they will try to trade him or cut him, but either way, he's not going to see the court for the foreseeable future. Cam Whitmore has been mentioned as someone who may get a bigger role this year as a result of Porter's absence.
