The NBA — proudly sponsored by sportsbooks FanDuel and DraftKings — recently had a current player, coach and former coach indicted on federal charges surrounding illegal gambling.
In a shocking turn of events, the public was awakened on Oct. 23 to the FBI’s investigation of Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, current Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and former Cleveland Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones using their positions and information as league insiders to illegally gamble on games they were playing or coaching in.
