• Silver said Toronto player could face banishment from league

Toronto's Jontay Porter could face expulsion from the league if the gambling-related accusations against him are found to be true, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday.

Silver, speaking after a two-day meeting of the league's Board of Governors, did not reveal any specifics about the investigation surrounding Porter, other than saying the probe is ongoing. Porter has not played since the league said it was looking into betting patterns surrounding his on-court performance.
