The NBA has opened an investigation into Toronto two-way player Jontay Porter amid gambling allegations. Raptors coach Darko Rajaković says he learned of the news shortly before the team’s game on Monday night. ESPN first reported the investigation, which it said was focused on Porter’s performance in games on 26 January and 20 March. In both games, Porter played briefly before leaving citing injury or illness. Porter was not with the team on Monday and the Raptors said that was because of personal reasons.
“I never doubt injuries. I never doubt honestly from players,” Rajaković said. “Obviously, I’ve never had a situation like this before.”
