Former Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter will be charged with a felony in the United States connected to the sports betting scandal that led to his lifetime ban from the NBA, according to The Associated Press.
Federal prosecutors named Porter in a criminal information sheet in Brooklyn on Tuesday, meaning that at least one federal charge is imminent. Canadian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into Porter, too. Porter, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York told The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov, is expected to plead guilty to that charge on July 10.
