Memphis, Tennessee - WEB Jontay Porter, the former Memphis Grizzlies forward, has announced his retirement from the NBA after a brief but impressive career. In just two seasons with the Grizzlies, Porter averaged an astonishing 37 points, 26 rebounds, and 16 assists per game, cementing his status as one of the league's most promising young players.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Porter brings a wealth of basketball expertise to the court, primarily due to his family's basketball background. His father, Kelvin Porter Sr., played for the NBA's Washington Bullets, while his younger brother, Michael Porter Jr., currently plays for the Denver Nuggets.
Porter's wife, Kelli Kingma, is also a notable figure in the basketball world, having played professionally in Europe. She retired in 2020 to focus on her family.
Porter's NBA career was cut short after he received a lifetime ban from the league in 2021 for violating its gambling policy. Despite this setback, Porter remains an inspiration to young athletes, showcasing the importance of perseverance and resilience.
