1. The US authorities have charged over 30 individuals, including Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat player Terry Rozier, for their involvement in illegal gambling schemes.
2. Among the allegations, some defendants are accused of organizing poker games involving the Mafia since 2019, deceiving participants by rigging games with advanced devices.
3. Six individuals, including Rozier, have been charged for their suspected roles in insider sports betting. They are alleged to have provided confidential information about upcoming games to bettors and kept the profits, such as Rozier tipping off a friend about an early exit due to a fake injury in March 2023, enabling illegal wagers. The FBI's ongoing investigation suggests massive fraud potentially totaling tens of millions of dollars. The NBA will continue cooperating with authorities regarding this matter.
