Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter , right, pulls in a rebound as Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, left, defends in the first half of an NBA basketball game Monday, March 11, 2024, in Denver. A criminal complaint was filed in federal court in Brooklyn Tuesday charging local resident Long Phi Pham with conspiring with others to defraud a sports betting company.
Having amassed large gambling debts to some of Pham’s co-conspirators, Porter was encouraged to clear his debts by exiting certain games early to guarantee certain under-prop bets were hit. Prior to Toronto’s March 20 against the Sacramento Kings, Porter disclosed to Pham and the co-conspirators that he would exit early feigning an illness. He did so after just three minutes of play in which he didn’t record a point or an assist while posting three rebounds. The parties involved agreed to split the profits, which totaled over $1 million, including a 24% cut for Pham.
