Stunning new details reveal texts Jontay Porter allegedly sent bettors during Raptors games
NY Post
Stunning new details emerged about Jontay Porter’s betting scandal.
Porter, the disgraced ex-NBA player, is banned from the league for life after an investigation found that he violated gambling rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his participation in games for betting purposes and himself betting on games while with the Raptors last year.
But another individual, Shane Hennen, was arrested on Sunday in connection to Porter, according to the federal court filing obtained by The Post, which shed more light on just how involved Porter was.
During multiple Raptors games, according to the court filing, Porter was texting alleged coconspirators, who then sent screenshots of Porter’s texts to Hennen.
Porter, 25, gave the coconspirators information about his playing status and availability during the Raptors-Grizzlies game on Jan. 22, 2024, in at least four text messages, according to the filing.
Porter sustained a purported eye injury in the game.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
