On Wednesday, the NBA announced that Jontay Porter, a two-way player who recently came under contract with the Toronto Raptors, has been banned from the league for his illicit involvement in sports betting, including intentionally underperforming.
According to the NBA, the 25-year-old leaked confidential information to sports bettors, held back in at least one game while with the Raptors, and bet on NBA games while playing in the league—all contractual violations that have now resulted in his ban from the NBA.
