BOONE COUNTY, Missouri — Less than three weeks after one of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr.'s brothers was sentenced to six years in prison in connection with a fatal crash in Denver, one of his other brothers was arrested on suspicion of DWI in Missouri.
Online records from the Missouri State Highway Patrol say Jevon Porter, 20, was arrested about 1:30 a.m. April 27 in Boone County. The record indicates he was arrested for DWI - alcohol and speeding. He was released on a summons.
A player bio for Jevon Porter from Pepperdine University says he's the younger brother of Michael Porter Jr., a star of the Denver Nuggets.
Michael Porter Jr. has remained focused on the NBA playoffs despite multiple high-profile incidents involving his siblings.
On April 19, his younger brother Coban Porter was sentenced in Denver District Court to six years in the Colorado Department of Corrections in relation to a fatal crash near the University of Denver in January 2023.
Coban Porter admitted at his sentencing hearing that he was drunk when he ran a red light on Jan. 22, 2023, at the intersection of South University Boulevard and East Buchtel Boulevard and struck Katharina Rothman's vehicle, killing her. A passenger in her car was seriously hurt.
The same week Coban Porter was sentenced, another sibling, Jontay Porter was banned from the NBA for life for violating league rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games.
Jontay Porter had played for the Toronto Raptors.
