On July 28, the NBA entered the offseason. Earlier today, according to US media reports, Jontai Porter, who was suspended for life for the NBA for participating in a gambling scam, will officially accept a felony sentence for telecom fraud in New York on December 10, facing up to four years in prison.

Jountae Porter is an NBA undraft, 2.11 meters tall. With his outstanding basketball talent and athletic ability, he finally won the favor of the Raptors. In April 2024, the NBA officially announced that Joontay Porter had been suspended for life for violating the league's competitive rules, leaking confidential information to sports betting bettors, and he also participated in NBA game betting.

According to the investigation, Jontai Porter deliberately performed abnormally in the game to complete his betting betting. For example, in the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on January 26, 2024, he left the court with an "eye injury" after only four minutes. In the match against the Sacramento Kings on March 20, he also withdrew early on on the grounds of "being sick". These abnormal behaviors attracted the attention of the NBA league, and after in-depth investigation, his violations were exposed one by one. According to the investigation, he used other people's accounts to place at least 13 bets on NBA games, with bets ranging from $15 to $22,000. Some US media said that the specific profit figure was $21,965. According to the latest reports, Jontai Porter will officially accept a felony sentence for telecommunications fraud in New York on December 10 this year, facing up to four years in prison. His actions not only violated NBA rules, but also seriously undermined the fairness of the game. It is worth mentioning that another NBA player, Rozier, is currently in the investigation.
