Adam Silver: Still Some Work to do to Stop Tanking
NBA commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged Friday that the league’s lottery reform in place for next season may not be enough to deter teams from tanking games.
“We’ll see how much of an impact that has, but my sense is we’re still going to have some work to do,” Silver said after meeting with owners at the Board of Governors meeting in Manhattan.

Missouri sophomore Jontay Porter will miss the entire upcoming season after tearing his ACL and MCL on Sunday, the school announced.
Porter suffered the injuries during a closed scrimmage against Southern Illinois.
He is the younger brother of Michael Porter Jr., the former top recruit who missed the majority of his lone season at Missouri last year before being drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the Denver Nuggets in June.
Jontay Porter, a 6-foot-11 power forward, averaged 9.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks last season and was expected to see a jump in production in 2018-19. He was named preseason second-team all-SEC last week.
