Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors has been given a lifetime ban by the NBA for violating the league's gambling rules.
The NBA released a statement Wednesday announcing and explaining its ruling.
"A league investigation found that Porter violated league rules by disclosing, confidential information to sports fetters, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games," the statement read.
