Jontay Porter pays the price, as NBA and other leagues play with fire on gambling
theathletic.com/5423274/2024/04/17/jontay-porter-nba-gambling-ban/
Quick Glance: Lifetime Ban as Warning to NBA Gamblers: Coach
- Commissioner Adam Silver's firm stance on Raptors bench player Jontay Porter serves as a cautionary tale for potential NBA gamblers.
- The NBA's decision to ban Jontay Porter due to his involvement in gambling did not come as a surprise to anyone in the league.
- NBA bit players pose a gambling risk and were seen as an ideal example in this cautionary tale, as mentioned by an NBA coach.
- Porter's limited significance as a player will lead to the story fading quickly, even though it may be referenced in relation to his brother Michael Porter Jr. and the Nuggets during the playoffs.
I just need to say. Adam Silver absolutely cooked with the Play-In tournament.
These games are always so much fun.

Quick Glance: NBA to Close G League Ignite After This Season
- The NBA will be shutting down the G League Ignite team after this season, which was launched in 2020 and has since produced multiple NBA Draft selections and four top-10 picks.
- The league introduced the Ignite team at a time when no other American pro league offered a path for pre-draft eligible players to be significantly compensated before entering the draft.
- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently mentioned that the future of Team Ignite is being reassessed, shifting focus towards the earlier development of these players.
- Since 2020, the Ignite has generated over 10 draft selections, including four top-10 picks, and despite the team's struggles this season with a 6-40 record, prospects Matas Buzelis and Ron Holland are projected to be drafted as lottery picks in June.
