Coban Porter sentenced to 6 years in prison for deadly DUI crash same week his brother Jontay banned from NBA​

Coban Porter, the younger brother of Denver Nuggets standout Michael Porter Jr., was sentenced to six years in prison Friday for killing a woman in a drunk-driving crash, according to the Denver Post.

The sentence arrived only two days after Jontay Porter, Coban and Michael's other brother, was banned for life from the NBA for his role in a gambling scheme.

The crash that led to Coban's incarceration occurred early the morning of Jan. 22, 2023, with an arrest coming later that day. The 22-year-old was reportedly driving drunk just before 2 a.m. when he ran a red light and crashed into a vehicle driven by Kathy Limon Rothman. Rothman, 42, was killed, and a passenger in her vehicle was seriously injured.

Prosecutors reportedly said Porter was driving 50 mph in a 30 zone with a blood alcohol level of .19. Rothman, who had a young son, was driving for Uber at the time.

Porter pleaded guilty in February to vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, reportedly on the condition that he be sentenced to no more than eight years in prison. He faced up to 12 years if found guilty in a trial.
