Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors has been given a lifetime ban by the NBA for violating the league's gambling policy.
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 bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games," the statement read.
The NBA's investigation found that Porter purposely limited his participation in the Raptors' March 20 game against the Sacramento Kings specifically to influence the outcome of one or more bets on his performance.
