Kevin Porter Jr. leaves arena after ‘heated halftime discussion’ vs. Nuggets

Not a whole lot was going the Houston Rockets’ way in the first half against the Denver Nuggets.

The team allowed 47 points in the second quarter and trailed by more than 20 at halftime.

During halftime, there was a “spirited debate” according to Stephen Silas in the locker room, which led to Kevin Porter Jr. not returning to the game and leaving the arena during the team’s 124-111 loss, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.

Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. lost his temper during a heated halftime discussion and didn’t return to the court, leaving the Toyota Center during the second half of tonight's loss to the Nuggets, sources told @wojespn and me.
