Nuggets star Porter Jr.'s brother charged in fatal crash
Investigators say Porter, 21, smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred when he was arrested
University of Denver basketball player Coban Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., was charged Wednesday with felony counts of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault stemming from a suspected drunken-driving crash that killed a 42-year-old woman.
Investigators say Porter, 21, smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred when he was arrested following the early morning crash that killed Katharina Rothman on Jan. 22. A 47-year-old passenger in Rothman's vehicle was seriously injured.
According to a probable cause statement, Porter ran a red light going about 50 mph (80 kmph) and hit Rothman's vehicle at an intersection near the university. When interviewed by police, Porter "displayed bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred and mumbling speech, and the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath," the statement said. He also was wearing a "BudLight" paper wristband.
The formal charges include vehicular homicide-DUI, vehicular homicide-reckless driving, vehicular assault-DUI and vehicular assault-reckless driving. Court records do not indicate if Porter has hired an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
The 6-foot-4 guard signed with the Denver Pioneers in 2021 after spending the previous season with Link Year Prep in Branson, Missouri.

Wizards-Pistons postponed over travel issues amid ice storm
The league said the date for the rescheduled game would be announced later
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans, who are scheduled to visit the Mavericks on Thursday night, said they would not fly into Dallas on Wednesday. Instead, the Pelicans, who visited the Nuggets a night earlier, were staying overnight in Denver with plans to travel to Dallas on Thursday morning, weather permitting.
Traveling on the day of a game is unusual in the NBA. Visiting teams normally travel one or two nights before playing on the road.
Stephen Curry and wife Ayesha oppose multi-family housing development by their house, claiming safety fears
Couple are concerned about the negative impact of the possible development
Stephen Curry is one of the most recognizable people in the United States, as he has done incredible things on the basketball court and has worked tirelessly with charitable endeavors away from it.
However, his reputation has taken somewhat of a knock as a result of both he and his wife opposing a multi-family housing development that was due to be built near their home in California.
The pair currently occupy a mansion in California whilst Curry continues his career with the Golden State Warriors, based nearby, yet the couple have raised concerns over their safety if the development is to go ahead.
Curry's letter of opposition to the housing development
As Atherton residents, we have been following along with the housing element updates with special interest in the 23 Oakwood property," the Currys' letter of opposition read.
We hesitate to add to the 'not in our backyard' rhetoric, but we wanted to send a note before today's meeting.
Safety and privacy for us and our kids continues to be our top priority and one of the biggest reasons we chose Atherton as home.
American residential developments can be difficult
What is clear is that Curry isn't the only local resident who has voiced concerns about the planned development.
Of course, it is natural that when you have an affluent area with celebrities, the idea of lower-income families arriving in a development is going to cause concerns.
The USA is rapidly losing space for such developments, hence why they are starting to encroach on private properties such as the one owned by the Curry family.
According to Forbes, the median price of homes in Atherton is over seven million dollars, which ranks as among the five most expensive zip-codes in the nation.
LeBron James receives criticism from Skip Bayless even as he leads Lakers to victory
The Fox pundit's critiques were met with confusion
LeBron James has been on fire recently with the future Hall of Famer almost single-handedly trying to salvage a playoff spot for the Los Angles Lakers.
In their latest game against the New York Knicks, the Lakers prevailed in overtime defeating their east coast rivals 129-123, with James leading the Lakers in scoring after dropping 28 points.
LeBron impressed, but...
What's more, the former Cleveland Cavaliers star added a further 11 rebounds and 10 assists, with the latter also seeing him go past Steve Nash in the all-time assist chart, with James now fourth over all.
Despite the remarkable performance, Fox presenter Skip Bayless found a way to criticize James describing his performance as quiet.
"I really thought LeBron would have more of a show-stopping game tonight in this season's lone visit to the Mecca of Basketball," Bayless wrote on a Twitter post.
All in all, a pretty quiet performance by his recent standards. But hey, thanks to Russ and Schroder in overtime, the Lakers did win."
Despite their win, the Lakers currently possess a losing record of 24-28. The franchise from California finds itself 13th in the Western Conference five spots below the final playoff position.
