Jontay Porter (/ˈdʒɒnteɪ/ JON-tay; born November 15, 1999) is an American professional basketball player for the Seattle Super Hawks of the USBL. Porter was banned for life by the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 2024 for violating their gambling policies while playing for the Toronto Raptors. The scandal resulted in him facing criminal charges, for which he pled guilty.
Porter played college basketball for the Missouri Tigers where he played alongside his older brother, Michael Porter Jr. He was awarded as the Southeastern Conference Sixth Man of the Year during his freshman season. Porter was an early entrant in the 2019 NBA draft but went unselected, and started his professional career in 2020 on a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies and spent time with their NBA G League affiliate Memphis Hustle. He sat out the 2021–22 season after he was waived by Memphis. Porter joined the Wisconsin Herd of the G League for the 2022–23 season, and after starting the 2023–24 season with the G League's Motor City Cruise, Porter was signed by the Toronto Raptors on a two-way contract with the Raptors 905.
