Given that he hadn’t bet on NBA games he must have been giving tips to bet his unders in the group chat he had. In which case, this is the most obvious punishment and completely justified
Edit: apparently he was stupid enough to actually get on games too
Completely justified ban, anything less would’ve been letting him off easy

I just want to know who was bankrolling him with the millions he bet
He don’t have that type of bread
And it was in Colorado

Jontay Porter has been eliminated from Championship contention

“The NBA announced today that Jontay Porter, a two-way player recently under contract with the Toronto Raptors, has been banned from the NBA. A league investigation found that Porter violated league 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.
The league’s investigation found that prior to the Raptors’ March 20 game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor. Another individual with whom Porter associated and knew to be an NBA bettor subsequently placed an $80,000 parlay proposition bet with an online sports book, to win $1.1 million, wagering that Porter would underperform in the March 20 game.
The league’s investigation also found that Porter limited his own game participation to influence the outcome of one or more bets on his performance in at least one Raptors game. In the March 20 game, Porter played only three minutes, claiming that he felt ill. Due to the unusual betting activity and actions of the player, the $80,000 proposition bet was frozen and was not paid out.
In addition, from January through March 2024, while traveling with the Raptors or Raptors 905, the Raptors’ NBA G League affiliate, Porter placed at least 13 bets on NBA games using an associate’s online betting account. These bets ranged in size from $15 to $22,000, for a total of $54,094. The total payout from these bets was $76,059, resulting in net winnings of $21,965. None of the bets involved any game in which Porter played. Three of the bets were multi-game parlay bets that included one Raptors game, in which Porter bet that the Raptors would lose. All three bets lost.
The suspicious bets involving Porter’s performance in the Raptors’ March 20 game were brought to the NBA’s attention by licensed sports betting operators and an organization that monitors legal betting markets.
These findings are based on the information available to league investigators at this time. The league’s investigation remains open and may result in further findings. The NBA has shared and will continue to share information with federal prosecutors about this matter.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said: “There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter’s blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment. While legal sports betting creates transparency that helps identify suspicious or abnormal activity, this matter also raises important issues about the sufficiency of the regulatory framework currently in place, including the types of bets offered on our games and players. Working closely with all relevant stakeholders across the industry, we will continue to work diligently to safeguard our league and game.”

People need to realize that purely from a sports league perspective, there’s nothing worse than doing something that’ll violate the league’s integrity and bring it into question as to if it’s legitimate or not.
Players accused of domestic abuse or sexual assault, or anything else criminal, of course it’s laughable that they’re still in the league while someone that places a legal sports bet gets banned for life, especially while at the same time the league parades around sports gambling sponsorships.
—————————
When it comes to criminal accusations, there’s a system in place already for that, that’s not controlled by the NBA or any other sports league. They aren’t the ones that’ll be investigating and being judge, jury, and executioner on someone accused of domestic abuse. The most they’ll do is place someone on the commissioners list so they’re not actively playing while details are cleared up and it’s decided if charges will be brought against a player.
Especially because there’s player unions for most sports, that’ll fight tooth and nail because it’s their legal obligation. If the league banned someone like Miles Bridges for life, the NBAPA by law has to go to bat for him and their immediate defense would be that nothing criminal was ever brought since the charges were dropped. Now in reality we all saw the pictures, we know he has misdemeanors. But criminally the charges were dropped and he was punished by the league with a 30 game suspension for everything else.
But there’s nothing like that for sports gambling. The league in this case is indeed judge, jury, and executioner and as shown throughout history, a player placing bets on themselves, their team, or anything else in the league is a cardinal sin.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I hope the same attitude is kept if a star player is ever caught doing this, probably not, but one can hole.

Everyone’s calling him a bum he was pretty impressive everytime I saw him play this year. Definitely looked like he was good enough for rotational minutes on a lot of teams

I’m glad it happened, but I’m actually somewhat surprised they decided to ban him for *life*. With their recent history of fairly small punishments, I was expecting up to a year.
I guess, perhaps, that he’s being made an example out of, so no player tries this again?
