The NBA is investigating Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter due to irregularities surrounding prop bets based on his performance, ESPN reported on Monday.
Porter, who has been out for the season with a knee injury, is alleged to have placed at least 13 bets on NBA games using someone else's betting account. The league's investigation is ongoing, and no further details have been released.
Porter, 24, is the younger brother of Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. He played college basketball at Missouri before being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2019. He was traded to the Raptors in 2021.
The NBA has strict rules against gambling on its games, and any player found to have violated those rules could face significant discipline. The league could also take action against the person whose account was used to place the bets.
This is a developing story, and more updates will be provided as they become available.
Update (8:56 PM PDT, March 25, 2024): The NBA has opened an investigation into Toronto two-way player Jontay Porter amid gambling allegations. Raptors coach Darko has not commented on the situation.
