Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. said Wednesday that he believes his younger brother would not risk his NBA career to violate the league's policy on gambling.
Jontay Porter, 25, was removed from the Toronto Raptors’ lineup ahead of their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. The NBA released a statement stating they were looking into multiple instances of betting irregularities in recent months, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
“I know what you guys know,” Porter Jr. said after the Nuggets' Wednesday night loss to the Phoenix Suns.
