Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested Thursday morning as part of two separate gambling investigations.
Rozier was under investigation after sportsbooks in multiple states flagged suspicious betting interest on his statistics ahead of a game on March 23, 2023.
Billups was allegedly linked to an illegal poker operation with ties to the Mafia.
Here are more details from ESPN:
Rozier was arrested Thursday morning at a hotel in Orlando, Florida. The Heat lost their season opener to the Magic on Wednesday, when Rozier did not play due to a coach’s decision.
