Cavs Expected to Trade or Release Kevin Porter Jr. Following Throwing Food ‘Outburst’

There are many ways to react when your locker is given to another player. You can politely ask for your locker to remain yours, you can write a formal complaint, you can talk to your coach, etc. Cavs forward Kevin Porter Jr. did none of those things. Instead he opted to throw food. That’s right, he threw a hissy fit.

This is unfortunate. He's crazy talented but has proven to be too immature to handle being in the NBA. Hope he can turn things around elsewhere. #Cavs https://t.co/Nw2LTTPEeg

That's foul as hell by the Cavs, I'd be doing the same shit https://t.co/H5HYyeg4md

To be honest, both sides are in the wrong on this one. It’s kind of disrespectful to give a guy someone else’s locker and it was wrong for KPJ to have a little locker room outburst by throwing food lol https://t.co/k83pND9hry

The whole story is bizarre. Throwing food/tantrum because you lost your locker is pretty juvenile. But in these crazy times, it’s hard to be shocked by anything going awry.
