DENVER, Colo. - Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. has publicly defended his brother, Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter, amidst an ongoing NBA investigation into prop bet irregularities.
Porter Jr. took to social media on Wednesday night to express his support for his brother, who was recently banned from the league for betting on NBA games.
"I know my brother and I know he would never intentionally do anything to jeopardize the integrity of the game," Porter Jr. wrote. "He's a good kid who made a mistake, and I'm here to support him through this."
The NBA announced on Tuesday that Jontay Porter had been banned for one year after he was found to have placed bets on NBA games, including games involving the Raptors. The league said that Porter had violated its gambling policy, which prohibits players from betting on any NBA game.
Porter Jr. said that he was "disappointed" by his brother's actions, but that he still believes in him.
"He's my brother and I love him," Porter Jr. said. "I'm going to be there for him through this and I know he's going to learn from this and come back stronger."
The NBA's investigation into prop bet irregularities is ongoing, and it is unclear if any other players will be implicated.
Jontay Porter is a 23-year-old forward who was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 31st overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft. He was traded to the Raptors in February 2021.
Michael Porter Jr. is a 24-year-old forward who was drafted by the Denver Nuggets with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft. He has emerged as one of the Nuggets' most important players, averaging 19.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season.
