From what I read they can't. The decision is final with the commissioner.

Interesting. They can grieve anything that’s collectively bargained but maybe they’d rather sit this one out anyway and let Porter be the fall guy for the rest of the players association
Here's their statement:
NBPA STATEMENT ON THE JONTAY PORTER RULING
The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) is the union for current professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Established in 1954, the NBPA mission is to ensure that the rights of NBA players are protected and that every conceivable measure is taken to...

Today, the NBA permanently disqualified Jontay Porter for violating league gambling rules. The NBPA exists to protect and support the interests of all 450 NBA players – both as individual players and as a collective. Adherence to league gambling policies is paramount to maintaining the integrity of our athletes and protecting the future of the sport.
The NBPA will make sure Jontay has access to the resources he needs during this time, in light of the NBA’s decision. All players, including Jontay, should be afforded appropriate due process and opportunity to answer to any charges brought against them.
The NBPA will continue to provide all players with training materials to ensure they understand how to properly navigate the complex sports betting landscape.
For sure that definitely makes sense. It’s easy to just be out of position or not go after the ball.
I see why they’re making an example out of him, it should spook a lot of guys to know their contracts can be terminated and banned for life with no appeal process.
I still think it’s going to be hard to police for guys who can’t help themselves. Too easy to get away with during those Monday night in January games when no one is paying attention

Michael Porter looks like he’d tell if he knew
I don’t agree you can’t still hold them accountable but this is a good point
Lmaoooo OP always the bearer of bad news….
He just the only one we know about
They all need to be outed
Michael Porter is older than Jontay.
Doubt it. Look like there are blood thicker thsn water tyoe family.

Exactly
Like 1, 2k max every here and there he probably woulda been good.
But 80k at once?
If you’re not a All Star or All NBA any bet over 10k will probably raise some flags

Definitely not the only one, especially how easy it is to hit the under:
*O/U for pts is 12.5*
*scores 6 pts in the 1st qtr to make it look legit and have ppl who bet the over like "easily on pace to hit"*
*starts limping 2 mins into the 2nd qtr and goes to the ground, holding ankle. Screams out fukk!"*
*Just before halftime, the sideline reporter reports that he will not return*
Cash the fukk out; under bettors
Everytime I take the under on a bum ass player they have a career game
