Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Kevin Porter Jr. arrested, cited for firearms violation

Cleveland Cavaliers swingman Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested early Sunday morning and cited for improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle.

Porter was arrested by the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Mahoning County and according to the booking document, a loaded firearm was found accessible to any operator or passenger without leaving the vehicle.

"Mr. Porter was issued a summons for a petty offense and released," his attorney Alex Spiro said in a statement emailed to the USA TODAY Sports. "We are gathering information and will have further comment at a later point."

Porter was released Sunday on $4,000 bond.

Kevin Porter Jr. averaged 23.2 minutes per game during the 2019-20 season as a rookie for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“We are aware of the situation involving Kevin Porter Jr. and are in the process of gathering information," the Cavaliers said a statement. "We have spoken with Kevin and will continue to address this privately with him as the related process evolves.”

The 6-6 Porter was the 30th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft out of Southern California. In his rookie season with the Cavaliers, he averaged 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
