TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors offered no comment on media reports that backup centre Jontay Porter is part of an investigation for gambling on Monday.
ESPN was the first to report that Porter is subject of an NBA investigation into irregularities on prop betting involving him.
There was still a nameplate above Porter's locker at Scotiabank Arena before Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets but it was empty. Few of his teammates were in Toronto's locker room pre-game, with one refusing to answer any questions about the situation. "I think it's just simple," said Nwora on what kind of education players get from the league on gambling protocols."Just stay away from basketball stuff and other than that, you're good.Ontario is the only jurisdiction in Canada where betting on sports through online bettors is legal. However, the NBA has strict rules on gambling.
"All the time. Non-stop," said Nwora."You get messages. You hear it on the sideline. You see guys talking about it all the time.
