NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, during a press conference following the Board of Governors meetings, addressed several key issues, including the ongoing investigation into Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter over allegations related to gambling. Silver emphasized the gravity of the accusations, stating that what Porter is accused of, specifically irregular, high-dollar prop bets after leaving games just a few minutes in, represents a 'cardinal sin' within the league. He highlighted the potential for severe consequences, up to banishment from the NBA, should the allegations prove true. The investigation focuses on Porter's alleged involvement in betting on games, an act that Silver noted undermines the integrity of the sport. Additionally, Silver commented on the dispute over the ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves, involving Alex Rodriguez, Marc Lore, and Glen Taylor, indicating that the NBA would not play a role in the resolution process, as it is outlined within the contract between the parties.
