The NBA 2K League has indefinitely disqualified six players and a coach from any league activity for violating gambling and fantasy guidelines, it was announced Thursday.
An investigation discovered that Christopher Lafanette, Dorian Earl Miller and Robert Nastasi of Blazer5 Gaming, Kimanni Ingram of Jazz Gaming, and Zekirri Dennis of Mavs Gaming all wagered or attempted to wager on NBA 2K League games, either on their personal or via other men and women, the league stated in a statement.
The 5 players also broke league guidelines by failing to report any violations or cooperate with the investigation.
Blazer5 Gaming coach Andrew Maxie and player Marquis Gill have been also disqualified indefinitely from all league activity for failing to report violations or cooperating with the league’s investigation.
“The integrity of our game is, and constantly will be, the NBA 2K League’s top rated priority,” league president Brendan Donohue stated in a statement. “We take our obligation to the competitors and to our fans extremely seriously, and we will constantly act forcefully with regards to violations of the guidelines governing game integrity and the associated reporting and cooperation specifications.”
