The details from Kevin Porter Jr.’s alleged attack on his girlfriend in New York earlier this week are downright disturbing.
Prosecutors say the 23-year-old Rockets guard left former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick with a fractured neck vertebra and an inches-long gash above her right eye that stemmed from repeated closed-fist punches, among other injuries she sustained. Mirah Curzer, a Manhattan assistant district attorney, said in court that it wasn’t the first instance of abusive behavior Porter had shown toward Gondrezick, alleging that Porter had rammed his car into hers before, too.
