Another brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. is in trouble with the law.

Jevon Porter, 20, was arrested early Saturday morning in Missouri for suspicion of driving while intoxicated and speeding, ESPN reports, citing State Police Sgt. Kyle Green.

Porter, a 6-11 forward, recently transferred from Pepperdine to Loyola Marymount after averaging 16.2 points and 5.9 rebounds as a sophomore for the Waves last season. He was a member of the West Coast Conference's All-Freshman team in 2022-23.

"We are aware of recent reports in the media and are gathering information about the matter," a Loyola Marymount official said in a statement to ESPN.

Porter's arrest comes two weeks after his older brother, Jontay Porter, was banned for life from the NBA for violating the league's gambling rules.

In addition, another brother – Coban Porter, who played collegiately at Denver – was sentenced on April 19 to six years in prison for a fatal drunk-driving crash in Colorado last year.
