The Twisted Irony of the Jontay Porter Scandal: Jontay Porter couldn’t resist the temptation to gamble. Neither can the NBA.
theringer.com/nba/2024/4/18/24134038/jontay-porter-gambling-nba-lifetime-ban-toronto-raptors
Quick Glance: NBA Bans Jontay Porter of Raptors for Gambling Violations
- Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors was banned from the league for disclosing confidential information to bettors, limiting his participation in at least one game with the Raptors, and betting on NBA games in the G-League.
- NBA commissioner Adam Silver stressed the importance of protecting the integrity of NBA competition for fans, teams, and all associated with the sport when announcing the ban.
- The investigation into Porter began in late March after sportsbooks noticed unusual betting on the reserve center's statistics in two Raptors' games, where Porter exited early in each game.
- Porter placed at least 13 bets on NBA games through an associate's online betting account, totaling $54,094. The total payout from these bets amounted to $76,059, resulting in a net winnings of $21,965.
Boban Marjanović intentionally misses free throw to give Clippers fans free chicken
theathletic.com/5415835/2024/04/15/boban-marjanovic-miss-free-throw-free-chicken/
Quick Glance: Boban Marjanovic's Impact on Fans and Game Outcome
- Boban Marjanovic, the Houston Rockets' center, ensured fans in Los Angeles left happy and well-fed.
- During the late fourth quarter of the Rockets' season finale versus the Los Angeles Clippers, Marjanovic stepped up to the free-throw line and missed the initial shot of a pair. An opposing player missing two consecutive free throws in a Clippers promotion grants fans free chicken.
- Displaying a keen understanding of the situation, Marjanovic personally took charge to secure some chicken for the fan base. Gesturing towards himself, the 7'4" center attempted the second free throw, resulting in another miss as the ball clanged off the rim.
- Having spent two seasons with the Clippers, the 35-year-old reciprocated the affection shown by fans during his time in Los Angeles. The gesture was highly valued by fans in the home arena. Fortunately, Marjanovic's actions at the free-throw line did not significantly impact the game, with the Rockets emerging victorious at 116-105.

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.
