Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were arrested as part of a widespread FBI investigation on Thursday, Fox News Digital confirmed.
The investigation was tied to a probe into members of the La Cosa Nostra crime families. The FBI will hold a news conference about its probe at 10 a.m. ET.
Rozier did not play during the Miami Heat’s game on Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic. Billups was on the sidelines for the Trail Blazers against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Billups, a Hall of Famer and NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons, played 17 years in the league. He was a five-time All-Star.
Rozier’s arrest was tied to NBA gambling and Billups’ arrest was tied to poker, Fox News Digital confirmed.
