The National Basketball Association (NBA) is currently leading an inquiry into Jontay Porter, a dual position player for Toronto, in the face of suspicions related to gambling. Toronto Raptors coach, Darko Rajakovi?, acknowledged his awareness of the situation just before the team's match on a recent Monday night. It came to light when a representative of the league verified the commencement of the inquiry. Porter's performance during the matches held on January 26 and March 20 are the objects of interest within the investigation. It was reported that Porter made transient appearances for both games before exiting on the pretext of ailment or injury. The info was first disclosed by ESPN. Amidst the specifics, Porter's encounter with the Los Angeles Clippers consisted of a participation time of 4 minutes and 24 seconds, while during his run against Sacramento, his playing time spanned 2:43. Coach Rajakovi? showed faith in the sincerity of his players, stating he never doubts player injuries and reaffirming his belief in their honesty. In both matches under scrutiny, Porter's performance failed to match the betting predictions in relation to total points, rebounds, and three point shots made. Specifically, in the Clippers game, Porter did not achieve the betting odds of netting 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists; he ended with nil points, three rebounds, and a single assist. For the game against the Kings, the betting lines centered around accumulating 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. However, Porter ended that game also with zero points, supplemented with merely two rebounds. The distance between Porter's achievements and the prop wager lines suggests a substantial discrepancy. Porter was noticeably absent from the home game the Raptors had against the Brooklyn side on the very Monday mentioned earlier, with the reason cited as personal. Correspondingly, he was not present for the subsequent loss against Washington, once again due to personal reasons. It was also observed that prior to the Monday evening game against the Nets, Porter's locker was conspicuously vacant of any personal affects, although his name plate remained affixed. When Coach Rajakovi? was questioned about the occurrence, he confessed he had not shared the matter with the rest of the team. Rajakovi? stated that the team's reaction remained a mystery to him but added that such challenging situations are undesirable for any individual or team. As a necessity, they just have to cope with it and this revealed the understanding nature of the team toward the crisis. Twenty-four-year-old Jontay Porter, brother of Denver forward Michael Porter, holds a record of averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 26 games, which included five starts. Over the course of the 2020-21 season, the 6-foot-10 Porter was also among the players for Memphis for a total 11 games. The NBA has rules in place to counteract such instances, requiring players to undergo one 'anti-gambling training session conducted by their Team and/or the NBA' on a yearly basis. This seems pertinent, as four G league players have faced suspensions ranging between three to five games this season, due to violations of gambling policies. During 2022, there was a pronounced wave of disqualification for six NBA 2K League players who had defied the league's regulations relating to gambling. The NBA policy is very clear: any player wagering anything of value on games or events in the NBA or the NBA G League can face a scale of sanctions from Commissioner Adam Silver. Washington forward Corey Kispert stressed on the simplicity and clarity of the rules, which were laid out before the season began. It is well-known that NBA has had commercial alliances with gaming companies over the years, and lists FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings as its official gaming partners. The NBA further practices relations with no less than 24 additional gaming operators. Nonetheless, gambling is not without its serious risks, as underscored by Cleveland Cavaliers' coach J.B. Bickerstaff who experienced threats from bettors during the last season. Bickerstaff revealed that the bettors had acquired his telephone number and sent him threatening messages about his family and place of residence. Expressing his concerns, Bickerstaff affirmed it's a fine line to tread. Such perilous incidents reveal the hidden threats behind the glamorous veil of sports betting. In the midst of this, public criticism from bettors is a common grievance among other players. Raptors forward Jordan Nwora remarked that he and his fellow players frequently receive feedback on how their performance influences gamblers. He added that such conversations are a part of the NBA culture. In a surprising turn of events, Major League Baseball (MLB) player Shohei Ohtani denied any involvement in sports betting nor being involved in settling any gambling-related debts of his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. His comments broke the silence about the allegations of illegal gambling and theft leveraged against him.

In Episode 1423, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to share their biggest takeaways from the Toronto Raptors introductory press conference for new head coach Darko Rajaković.

Next, they chat about whether they feel better about the Raptors having a direction as a franchise once again, and why Rajaković's comments about communication and getting to know his players on a personal level hint at a potential shift back to the more familial vibe the franchise has been known for in the past. Lastly, Sean and Katie chat about what the arrival of Rajaković might mean for the developmental aspect of the Raptors' franchise, and why it's so essential for the Raptors to get back to their developmental ways.

On Hour 2 of The FAN Morning Show, Nick Kypreos stops by to discuss Vegas' Stanley Cup victory, Jack Eichel's performance during his first playoff run, how Vegas constructed their championship roster, Michael Andlauer's purchase of the Ottawa Senators, and the New York Rangers hiring Peter Laviolette as their new head coach. Later, Ailish and Justin are joined by Michael Grange to chat about his initial impressions of new Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković, his reputation around the NBA, if the Raptors' current roster is compatible with Darko's coaching philosophy, the key to optimizing Scottie Barnes' skill set, and Fred VanVleet's decision opt out of his current deal (24:41). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Hour 3 of The FAN Morning Show kicks off with Brent Wallace, co-host of the Coming in Hot podcast, stopping by to discuss Michael Andlauer's winning bid to purchase the Ottawa Senators, what this sale means for the franchise moving forward, why Ryan Reynolds' joint bid fell through, Andlauer's ties to Steve Staios, Daniel Afredsson's potential involvement in the Senators' new regime, and the biggest issues with the team's current roster. Later, Ailish and Justin are joined by former NBA guard Randy Foye to chat about his experience playing under Darko Rajaković in OKC, what Raptors fans can expect from their new head coach, his time being teammates with Nikola Jokic in Denver, his emotions seeing the Nuggets win their first NBA title, and his relationship with Kyle Lowry (18:00). Afterwards, Toronto Raptors GM Bobby Webster joins the program to discuss the team's hiring of Rajaković, why he's the right fit for this group, next week's NBA Draft, and the direction for the organization moving forward (35:46).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Mike Roach talks about:1. The Denver Nuggets winning the 2023 NBA Championship2. Fred VanVleet Opts out of contract, he will become an unrestricted free agent 3. The Toronto Raptors new Head Coach Darko Rajaković

In Episodr 1422, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to talk through some more of their thoughts on the Toronto Raptors hiring Darko Rajaković as the teams prepares to introduce him on Tuesday afternoon, before reacting to Fred VanVleet officially opting out of his contract to become a free agent. Off the top, Sean and Vivek talk a little about the Denver Nuggets winning the NBA championship before diving more into what excites them about the Rajaković hire, and which players they're most excited to see play under Darko Rajaković's tutelage. Next, they discuss Fred VanVleet officially opting out of his contract to become an unrestricted free agent, which we all knew was coming for a year, and doesnt' tangibly change his status within the team's plans. What happens if FVV leaves for nothing in free agency? Sean also goes on a rant about whether you like Fred's game or not, the objective correct move is for the Raptors to try and retain him. Lastly, what about Gary Trent Jr., who has yet to make a decision on his own player option. If the Raptors lose Fred, does it become a priority to keep Trent Jr. around simply to prevent a mass exodus of shooting talent?Come hang out among the sickos in the growing Locked On Raptors listener community on Discord! https://discord.gg/aP6u4nMdSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/lockedonnba and when you enter promo code, LOCKEDONNBA, they'll throw in a free custom birddogs Yeti-style tumbler with every order.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Netradične v pondelok prichádzame do vašich uší s NBA podcastom, aby sme vám priniesli názory na tie najčerstvejšie témy pred 5. finálovým zápasom. Úvod sa niesol okolo trénerskej akvizície v Toronte a situácií okolo Chrisa Paula, Jamesa Hardena či Damiana Lillarda. O týchto menách totiž vyplanuli v posledných dňoch viaceré špekulácie a my sme sa pozreli na to, ktoré z nich sú naozaj reálne.  Témou týždňa je určite prebiehajúce finále medzi Denverom a Miami. Pozreli sme sa na kľúčové momenty zápasov 3 a 4. Vyzdvihli sme prínos Aarona Gordona, oboch Brownov a mnohých ďalších. Nezabudli sme ani na naše a vaše obľúbené predikcie, v ktorých sme sa jasne zhodli na tom, ako skončí najbližší zápas. Bude šampión známy už po zápase číslo 5? V závere sme sa pozreli za druhým ročníkom ocenenia Hráč týždňa. Počas roka sme vyberali viacero zaujímavých mien, len jedno z nich však bolo zvolené celkovo až trikrát. (00:00) - Intro  (03:25) - Darko Rajakovič v Toronte (06:59) - Chris Paul a Suns  (17:38) - James Harden  (22:09) - Irving, Dončić, James  (24:15) - Budúcnosť Damiana Lillarda (37:33) - Je finále rozhodnuté?  (58:28) - Zhrnutie kategórie “Hráč Týždňa” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/druhalajna/message

In Episode 1416, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Raptors.com) to discuss the Toronto Raptors reportedly short list of candidates for their vacant head coaching position, which per Marc Stein is down to Spain and Virtus Bologna head coach Sergio Scariolo, Sacramento Kings assistant Jordi Fernández, Grizzlies assistant Darko Rajaković & former Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson. Off the top, they discuss why they're encouraged by the names remaining on the Raptors list and the outside-the-box thinking they might be able to bring to the table. Next, they discuss why the wide range of experience, head coaching an otherwise, that each of the final four possess is something to get excited about, in addition to why the European influence that three of the four candidates would bring to the table could be conducive to unlocking a Raptors team that has badly needed to implement some offensive structure, and features three above average passers at their position playing in their front court between Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl. Lastly, they discuss whether they'd be disappointed if the Raptors go the re-tread route, whether age should be a consderation in the Raptors' final decision, and their blind predictions for who will ultimately get the job in Toronto -- something we should have closure on by the end of this week, you'd think.Join the Locked On Raptors Discord server to continue the conversation with our growing listener community! https://discord.gg/JWprvscdSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
