NBA bans Toronto Raptors’ Jontay Porter for life for sports gambling violations

The league found that Porter leaked information about his health to a sports bettor and placed his own wagers via an online betting account.

On Wednesday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter has been banned for life for multiple gambling-related offenses. For such “blatant violations of our game rules,” Silver said, Porter would receive “the most severe punishment.”
