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.
