"NBA's Jontay Porter: From Career Earnings to Lifetime Ban"

Jontay Porter, a Toronto Raptors two-way player, has been banned for life from the NBA for violating gambling rules. The ban comes after he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors, limited his own participation in games for betting purposes, and bet on NBA games. Porter, the younger brother of Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr., had earned $2.3 million over three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies and signed a two-way contract with the Raptors for the 2023-24 season valued at $411,794, bringing his career total earnings from the NBA to $2.7 million.
