Report: Cavaliers to trade or release Kevin Porter Jr after food-throwing locker room outburst

The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to either trade or release second-year player Kevin Porter Jr. after an outburst in the locker room on Friday, per a report by The Athletic.

Porter reportedly became angry Friday when he entered the Cavaliers’ home locker room to find his old locker was given to Taurean Prince, per the report. Cleveland acquired the sixth-year forward from the Brooklyn Nets last week as part of the blockbuster James Harden trade.
