"Not anymore": Kysre Gondrezick's old tweet on wanting Houston WNBA team leaves fans concerned amid Kevin Porter Jr. arrest for assault – Sportskeeda
Kysre Gondrezick’s old tweet about wanting to have a WNBA team in Houston has resurfaced following the arrest of her boyfriend Kevin Porter Jr. Gondrezick suffered multiple injuries after the alleged assault by Porter, who plays for the Houston Rockets.
Houston previously had a WNBA team, called the Comets, from 1997 to 2008. They were one of the most successful franchises in league history, winning four straight championships from 1997 to 2000. Some of the Comets players at the time included Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes; Kim Perrot, Michelle Snow and Tina Thompson.
Meanwhile, Gondrezick was the fourth overall pick in the 2021 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever out of West Virginia. She played just one season with the Fever after getting waived in January 2022. She signed with the Chicago Sky later but did not make the roster for the 2022 season.
Gondrezick tweeted her desire to have a WNBA team in Houston in April. It may or may not have been a great idea back then, as the main reason why the Comets dissolved was the lack of fan support. However, with the Rockets not really playing well post-James Harden, fans might turn in for a WNBA team.
Nevertheless, the tweet recently resurfaced after fans showed concern about Gondrezick. One fan reckons Gondrezick might have already changed her mind:
Another pointed out to the Comets being there but also advised Kysre Gondrezick to never go back to Kevin Porter Jr.:
