Not sure why the NBA convulsed over Jontay Porter’s gambling. After all, he used their preferred vendor.

More on this storyline
Josh Lewenberg: This is what Jontay Porter told me in January, 10 days before the first of 2 games he left due to “injury/illness”: “(I’m) lucky to be in this position. Been dreaming about this for the past 3 years, to get this opportunity again. A million people would die to be in my position.” -via Twitter @JLew1050 / April 17, 2024
Adrian Wojnarowski: Most damning for Jontay Porter and the NBA itself: He bet the Raptors to lose, according to league’s investigation. -via Twitter @wojespn / April 17, 2024
Shams Charania: Investigation shows on the 13 NBA bets Porter made: Total payout was $76,059, resulting in net winnings of $21,965. Three of the bets were multi-game parlay bets that included one Raptors game, in which Porter bet that the Raptors would lose. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 17, 2024
