Former Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter is facing sentencing for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, with expectations of a prison term and financial penalties. His case, involving competitive manipulation in NBA games, has drawn significant attention due to his public role and gambling addiction.
Porter, who pleaded guilty in July, is the first active NBA player banned for gambling since 1954. His actions included feigning injury to influence betting outcomes, leading to a maximum potential sentence of 20 years, though estimates suggest 41 to 51 months may be more likely.
