The NBA issued a lifetime ban to former Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter on Wednesday for violations of the league's gambling rules.
An NBA investigation found that Porter violated league rules by disclosing confidential information on his injury status to sports bettors, the league wrote in Wednesday's statement.
In turn, Porter limited his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, according to the investigation. Porter, a two-way player with the Raptors' organization, also wagered on NBA games, the investigation found.
The league's investigation also determined 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.
