The NBA world was the subject of massive scrutiny earlier this week when Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, former NBA champion and current Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and former NBA player Damon Jones were arrested for their involvement in a massive illegal gambling scheme. The three have been accused of leaking information regarding their own or other players’ injury status to help gamblers win bets, as well as being involved in an illegal poker ring.
The Los Angeles Lakers were indirectly involved in the scandal, as Jones was accused of leaking information about LeBron James and Anthony Davis during the 2022-23 season.
