NBA & Players Union Push Back on Prop Bets

The NBA and NBPA are calling for tighter limits on prop bets — those wagers on individual player stats like points, rebounds, or assists. Why? Because players say these bets have fueled harassment and even opened the door to game manipulation. Jontay Porter was banned after rigging his performance for bettors. Other players are under federal investigation. Stars like Michael Porter Jr. admit the temptation exists, but warn it’s dangerous and leading to death threats. The league’s message is clear: protect integrity, protect players. #NBA #NBPA #SportsBetting #PlayerSafety #Sports
