On July 1, Beijing time, according to Shams of The Athletic, former Rockets backcourt main Kevin Porter Jr. joined the Clippers on a two-year contract, of which the second year is a player option. Porter Jr. was traded to the Thunder by the Rockets in October last year because of an off-court scandal, and was subsequently cut by the Thunder.

Porter Jr. was once the main player in the Rockets' backcourt, and he played in 59 games for the Rockets in the 2022-23 season, contributing 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.4 steals, and is still a very strong player.

However, Porter Jr. was involved in a domestic violence scandal, which led to him being traded by the Rockets to the Thunder in October 2023, and the Thunder chose to cut him. Porter Jr. lost his job in the NBA and left for a brief stint in the Greek league with PAOK.

Now the Clippers are signing Porter Jr. on a two-year contract, the second year of which is a player option, naturally because the Clippers are seeking a trade to send away Wei Shao, and Porter Jr. will become a replacement for Wei Shao.
