The NBA announced today that Jontay Porter, a two-way player with the Toronto Raptors, has been banned from the league for violating rules related to disclosing confidential information to bettors, limiting his game participation for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games.

Before a March 20 game, Porter disclosed his health status to an individual known to be an NBA bettor. Another bettor associated with Porter placed an $80,000 bet on him underperforming in that game.

Porter then limited his playing time, claiming illness, which led to unusual betting activity. The $80,000 bet was frozen and not paid out.
