Wizards Broadcaster Apologizes for Confusing Identity of Kevin Porter Jr.'s Father

Wizards broadcaster Glenn Consor apologized Thursday morning for "mistakenly" confusing Rockets forward Kevin Porter Jr.'s father, who was shot to death, with former Washington guard Kevin Porter during Wednesday night's game.

Porter Jr. sunk a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Houston a 114–111 win in Washington on Wednesday night. Consor then said "You've got to give credit. Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time."

Porter Jr.'s father, Bryan Kevin Porter Sr., pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in a shooting death of a 14-year-old girl in 1993. He was sentenced to more than four years in prison.
