The FBI secured multiple indictments for more than 30 people related to their alleged role in an explosive gambling scandal that has rocked the NBA. Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and former NBA player Damon Jones all were arrested as part of the investigation, which involved extensive illegal gambling rings, FBI director Kash Patel said during a news conference Thursday.

Billups was charged in connection with an illegal poker operation tied to the Mafia, while Rozier is accused of manipulating his performance during an NBA game to benefit illegal betting. Jones is one of three people charged in both indictments, according to U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Joseph Nocella Jr.
