The Raptor's Jontay Porter is under investigation over gambling irregularities.

This is another thing probably not getting enough attention with the Baltimore bridge story and all things Trump going on. I admit to being a bit of a prude when it comes to gambling, and the proliferation of legal gambling the last few years has been amazing. It's surprising we haven't seen more investigations.
Side note, Porter is the son of Iowa basketball star Lisa Becker.

I think we'll see a lot more like this - especially from role/fringe players who don't have that long of a shelf-life and won't have many prospects after they're out of the league.

I think it's as much about controlling/limiting his own availability for the benefit of others who bet on games in which he played.

That's a big deal to fake an injury before hitting any of you "overs", ensuring guys playing your "under" parlays won.

His mom played for Iowa...Lisa Becker.

I don’t care too much for Dan Bernstine of the Score, but he posed an interesting question on Thursday about the lack of media coverage over this betting scandal. 5-10-20 years ago this would have been covered much more extensively. Now, not so much. Bernstine wondered if the amount of money media outlets receive is leading to self editing?
