The NBA banned Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter on Wednesday after discovering he had disclosed confidential health information to known sports bettors and placed bets totaling $54,094 on NBA games. The investigation focused on Porter's performance in games on Jan. 26 and March 20, where he played briefly before leaving citing injury or illness. Before the March 20 game, a bettor placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would underperform, based on the information he had disclosed. The bet was frozen and not paid out due to the unusual betting activity. Porter, the brother of Denver forward Michael Porter, had been averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 26 games with the Raptors before the ban. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated that Porter's actions were a blatant violation of gaming rules and emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of NBA competition. Porter did not comment since the investigation began and was listed as out for the remainder of the season citing personal reasons. This incident raises questions about the regulatory framework in place for sports betting and the types of bets offered on NBA games and players. The NBA has had business relationships with gaming companies for years, including FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings as official partners. It is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
