NBA player Rozier and Trail Blazers coach Billups arrested in federal gambling probe, reports

Authorities have reportedly been arrested Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier in connection to a federal illegal gambling probe, according to news reports.

The cases are separate, but Billups and Rozier were both arrested Thursday morning, according to multiple news outlets.

Billups has been Portland’s head coach since 2021 and coached Wednesday night’s season-opening loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rozier did not play in Miami’s season opener against the Orlando Magic.
