Quick Glance: Lifetime Ban as Warning to NBA Gamblers: Coach

Commissioner Adam Silver's firm stance on Raptors bench player Jontay Porter serves as a cautionary tale for potential NBA gamblers.

The NBA's decision to ban Jontay Porter due to his involvement in gambling did not come as a surprise to anyone in the league.

NBA bit players pose a gambling risk and were seen as an ideal example in this cautionary tale, as mentioned by an NBA coach.

Porter's limited significance as a player will lead to the story fading quickly, even though it may be referenced in relation to his brother Michael Porter Jr. and the Nuggets during the playoffs.
