Toronto Raptors’ Jontay Porter gets lifetime ban from NBA

The NBA announced on Wednesday that former Toronto Raptors backup centre Jontay Porter has been banned from the league for life, after the NBA completed its investigation into gambling allegations against Porter. The league found that Porter violated its rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games. All three are prohibited under the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement. The Raptors said in a statement they supported the league’s decision and will co-operate with any ongoing inquiries.
