"Welcome back to SportsCenter Presented by ESPN Bet, for more on the Porter situation, we go to our FanDuel NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski at our DraftKings Studio in Los Angeles brought to you by Caesar's Sportsbook. Woj, how could something like this happen?"

He allegedly "disclosed confidential information" about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor" ahead of a March 20 game. Porter claimed to suffer from an illness during the game and only played three minutes, the league said.

Been in his brother's shadow his whole life and now this huge mistake. Even as a bench player he was making good money I bet.

Betting $80K parlays on Jontay Porter props. I'm truly shocked they got caught.

I have always wondered if NFL players gambling is as much of a thing. It a lot easier to manipulate a game with the ball in your hands/guarding a guy with the ball say a QB to throw a game. And with the money they pay skill position players, it would have to be a very large bet for him to take the risk. Then again, its not like these guys have an accounting degree, and one timely fumble by an underpaid, over the hill RB, or missed FG by a kicker could definitely affect the outcome of the game.
I also may be naïve, but while I could see a player using information to bet ON his team, I have hard time believing they would bet against their team/throw a game.

Isn't the NBA minimum over a million?

So he threw away his career to win $20K?

If you are on a main roster, the minimum is around a $800k salary IIRC.
If he is a two way guy, though, he is making significantly less than $1m.
Looks like the cap is about $450k if you are active for a bunch of games.

And a very large bet gets flagged.
That's how the gump baseball coach got caught.

A guy averaging 3 points in two games played even having a player prop bet is surprising. I can’t believe these idiots don’t think these massive bets aren’t going to get flagged.

Apparentley they didnt. Bet was flagged and never paid pending investigation.

DONE!
I hope it was worth it.

They need to ban whoever in the NBA main office dictated to refs that LAL get such favorable calls. It's not even close it’s historic. That is high level cheating and there needs to be an independent audit performed.
