Jontay Porter will be charged with a federal felony for his role in a sports betting scandal, according to court papers.
The papers don’t indicate specific charges or a court date, though they show that Porter’s case is tied to the existing case of four men cashing in on tips from an NBA player about his plans to leave a game early.
Porter’s lawyer is arguing that Porter had been “in over his head due to a gambling addiction” but is now cooperating with law enforcement.
Porter received a lifetime ban from the NBA in April.
