The NBA Just Banned a Player for Life. It Had No Choice.: He did things worse than anything Pete Rose ever got up to.
slate.com/culture/2024/04/jontay-porter-lifetime-ban-nba-sports-betting-scandal-gambling.html
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.
The Pacers have tied the series 1-1 against the Milwaukee Bucks thanks to a 37-point performance from Pascal Siakam.

Quick Glance: Rudy Gobert Fined $100K for Inappropriate Gestures Toward Refs
- Following Rudy Gobert's money gesture towards the referees in the fourth quarter and his public criticism of the officiating, the NBA imposed a $100,000 fine on the Minnesota Timberwolves center.
- Gobert's actions on the court may have had more significant consequences than just the monetary penalty. His technical foul allowed Cavaliers guard Darius Garland to sink a crucial free throw, tying the score and leading the game into overtime.
Jontay Porter bet on his own team, the Raptors, to lose, committing the ultimate cardinal sin in sports.
Not a bad bet when you look at it, though 🤷♂️
