Jontay Porter worked hard most of his whole life to get into the NBA. He can never get it back and has many years left to try to beat back the sadness of having his happy dream explode into a nightmare. It's his fault and he deserves the tough punishment.
This is what makes this even more puzzling, to play on the NBA is incredibly difficult, as there are many kids that have that dream and they train all their lives to do so and they fail, he was privileged enough to get a spot on an NBA team, and while his numbers were not impressive and it could have led to a short career on the NBA, at least he could look at his past achievements and share that with his kids, which will look up to him and want to be just like their dad, but now he has an immense stain on his career, one that could affect him when trying to get some other jobs, as who wants a person inside their company that could sell their corporate secrets?
