Kevin Porter Jr. said he never doubted that he would be back in the NBA after serving a one-year hiatus that included a six-week stretch in Greece following an incident in a New York hotel that led to since-reduced assault charges. His return to Houston, where he had his greatest NBA success, felt right, even a homecoming. “It was dope, man,” Porter said of being back on the Toyota Center floor. “It’s good being in my old stomping grounds. We always have that relationship. There are relationships that I have (from) being here still. It’s a good feeling coming back home.”
