A Washington Wizards announcer came under fire for his call about Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. as the two teams played each other on Wednesday night. … Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time," Consor said. Porter’s father, Bryan Kevin Porter Sr., spent more than 4 years in prison when he pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the 1993 shooting death of a teenage girl, according to USA Today. Consor apologized in a tweet, saying he thought the Rockets player was the son of former Washington Bullets player Kevin Porter, who was with the organization for six seasons. "Please allow me to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to Kevin Porter Jr., his family and the Rockets organization for the comments I made during last night’s game," Consor said.
