The NBA has yet another gambling scandal.

ESPN.com reports that Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups have been arrested on federal gambling charges.

The incidents are distinct. Rozier, per the report, was suspected of impropriety after sportsbooks in multiple states flagged increased betting activity on his “under” props for points, rebounds, and assists in a March 2023 game. Rozier left the game in question after only 10 minutes, attributing the departure to a foot injury.

Billups allegedly was tied to an illegal poker operation linked to the mob. Which opens an entirely different can of worms; mob ties can lead to a wide range of gambling-related irregularities.

Indictments will be announced at a Thursday morning press conference conduct
