Jontay Porter, a former center for the Toronto Raptors, is set for sentencing tomorrow after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The 25-year-old was banned from the NBA for life due to his involvement in manipulating betting outcomes related to his performance.
Porter feigned injuries to avoid playing in specific games, which allowed bettors to win on prop bets against his performance. Prosecutors suggest his potential prison sentence could range from 41 to 51 months, despite the maximum being 20 years.
