The plan that resulted in Porter’s punishment in a Brooklyn court will lead to charges against him, according to The Associated Press.
Court records do not list a court date or the charge or charges, but they do indicate that the case is connected to the ongoing prosecution of four men who are accused of plotting to profit from a player’s information about his intentions to leave the game two games early, according to the article.
According to the NBA, Jontay made “at least 13 bets” between January and March of this year when he was either a member of the Raptors or their G League team, Raptors 905.
According to the league, Porter also wagered on NBA games in which he did not play, including one wager against his own team.
Last month, Porter’s attorney, Jeff Jensen, stated that although Porter was receiving treatment and assisting with law enforcement, he had been “in over his head due to a gambling addiction”.
Last month, four other individuals were accused with conspiring to commit wire fraud.
