Jontay Porter, who has been banned from the NBA for admitting to intentionally underperforming in games to assist bettors, has requested permission from a federal court to resume his playing career in Greece. Porter, through his attorney, is seeking modifications to his bond conditions to allow him to regain his U.S. passport, travel in Europe, and live in Patras, Greece, where he would play for the Greek club Promitheas BC.
Prosecutors have expressed no opposition to Porter's request, acknowledging that it presents a limited opportunity for him to earn income through his basketball skills. Porter, aged 24, recently pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy crime related to the scandal that led to his NBA ban. He is currently free on a $250,000 bond, awaiting sentencing scheduled for December 18.
