On Wednesday, the NBA announced that Raptors two-way player Jontay Porter was banned for life from the NBA after a league investigation found that he violated league rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors. He was also found guilty of limiting his own participation in at least one game for betting purposes, and of betting on NBA games himself – all strictly prohibited actions.
Perhaps most damning, the investigation found that on March 20th, Porter played only three minutes — claiming that he felt ill — after previously sharing medical information with a bettor. That better subsequently placed an $80,000 bet with an online sportsbook to win $1.
