Adam Silver says the NBA’s Jontay Porter investigation continues but adds that “what he’s accused of” is seen as a “cardinal sin” and acknowledges that penalties for a player found to be involved in gambling can extend to “ban him from the game.”

Kendrick Perkins: You can’t go nowhere without seeing sports betting, whether its FanDuel, DraftKings, ESPN Bet. The one person in Toronto (Jontay Porter), I think it’s an ongoing investigation, but if they found out that he was doing that, then Adam Silver and the NBA, you have to come down and make a statement. Meaning the penalty has to be over-the-top harsh. It has to be so harsh that a guy, a player doesn’t even think about it. Like if it’s in front of them, they run from it. So I think that’s the only way to set the tone and the only way to set the bar. You can do the policies or whatever, but you gotta be so harsh that guys are like, ‘No, I’m staying as far away from that as possible.’ I’m talking about to the point where guys are hesitant to walk in the casino to play cards or whatever, like you gotta be that harsh really. -via HoopsHype / March 30, 2024
