NBA Bans Jontay Porter for Life After 13 Bets Against Own Team
Apr 17, 2024, 04:21 PM
Jontay Porter, a player for the Toronto Raptors, has been banned from the NBA for life following an investigation into his betting activities. The probe revealed that Porter placed 13 bets on NBA games, including multiple bets against his own team, the Raptors. He disclosed confidential information about his health to a known bettor and limited his own game participation to influence the outcome of his bets. The most controversial of these was a multi-game parlay that included a Raptors game where he bet on the team to lose. The NBA's investigation found that Porter's total betting payout was $76,059, with net winnings of $21,965. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver emphasized that betting on one's own league is a 'cardinal sin' and justified the severe penalty as necessary to maintain the integrity of the sport.
