New York (AFP) - The NBA banned Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter for life on Wednesday after a bombshell probe found he bet on league matches -- dubbed a "cardinal sin" by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. The league said that Porter, who spent part of his season in the NBA and part of it in the developmental G League, also shared private information on his fitness with a sports bettor and removed himself from a game to influence wagers on his own play. "There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sp...

"I've had a year with some ups and downs but all added to growth for me as a man, student and athlete," he wrote. He also thanked USC and their staff for their support in his freshman season. Bronny James collapsed suddenly during training with the USC team in Los Angeles i...

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Los Angeles Lakers, fueled by a near triple-double from Anthony Davis, spoiled Luka Doncic's return from injury with a convincing 127-110 NBA victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

Doncic scored 33 points with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. But Mavs star Kyrie Irving was limited to 12 points on four-of-16 shooting and Dallas never led after the first quarter. It ...

Zurich (AFP) - Newly-crowned sprint king Noah Lyles insisted Wednesday that he had received some support for his comments criticising NBA stars for declaring themselves "world champions" for winning the elite basketball league. American NBA stars were quick to rip Lyles on social media after the treble gold medallist from the World Athletics Championships in Budapest last week said he was offended when US sports league champions like those in the NBA declare themselves "world champions" after capturing a national crown without facing global rivals. "You know, the thing that hurts me the most i...
