"Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter Banned from NBA for Gambling Violations"
The NBA has banned Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter for violating league gambling rules, including disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games. The investigation found that Porter informed a bettor about his health status before a game, leading to an $80,000 bet on his underperformance, and that he affected his own participation in games to influence bets on his performance. The league also found that Porter had placed at least 13 bets on NBA games between January and March this year, resulting in net winnings of $21,965. The Raptors are supportive of the league's decision, and the investigation remains open.
