Former Missouri men’s basketball standout Jontay
Former Missouri men’s basketball standout Jontay Porter has been banned for life by the National Basketball Association for violating rules regarding sports betting.
The league announced the ban of Porter, 24, on Wednesday as it concluded an investigation into suspicious betting activity around his performances.
The center, who was on a two-way contract, had found a role with the Toronto Raptors this season before the onset of the scandal that ultimately ended his career.
According to the NBA’s investigation, Porter gave “confidential information” to a bettor before the Raptors’ March 20 game against the Sacramento Kings, leading to an $80,000 parlay bet placed on Porter that would’ve won $1.1 million had it not been flagged and frozen for unusual activity. Porter only played three minutes in that game after saying he felt sick.
