Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter has been permanently banned from the NBA for betting on NBA games, sharing confidential information, and influencing game outcomes. Porter disclosed his health status to a bettor before a game, leading to an $80,000 bet on his underperformance. He also bet on 13 NBA games using an associate's account, winning $76,059. Porter had a VIP FanDuel account before joining the Raptors and placed millions in bets on non-basketball games while in the NBA G League.
