Shams Charania from The Athletic reports that the 23-year-old agreed to a deal until the end of the season with the PAOK mateco.

The Rockets traded Porter Jr. last October after he was facing assault charges for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. The 23-year-old was immediately waived by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

In January, it was reported that Porter Jr. reached a plea agreement of a third-degree reckless assault and second-degree harassment. He underwent a program which, upon completion, will allow him to withdraw the plea to assault. 

Even though Porter Jr.'s girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick, later claimed he never hit her, Porter was charged with felony assault.

Last season, Porter Jr. averaged 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in 59 appearances for the Houston Rockets.
