Man charged in NBA betting scandal linked to Jontay Porter #

A man has been charged in connection with a NBA betting scandal and his alleged involvement with Jontay Porter, a former member of the Toronto Raptors. The man is accused of conspiring to deceive a sports betting company by placing prop bets on NBA games involving Porter. The charges allege that Porter owed gambling debts to the man and was encouraged to exit games early to ensure prop bets on his performance were successful. The investigation aligns with the findings of the NBA’s probe into Porter, who was banned from the league in April for betting on games and sharing inside information.
