NBA coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier were among over 30 people arrested in an FBI investigation into illegal gambling. Authorities said Rozier shared insider game details with bettors, while Billups was linked to rigged poker games involving organized crime. The schemes reportedly made millions through wire fraud, money laundering, and extortion. Rozier’s lawyer denied all charges, saying prosecutors relied on weak evidence. Both men are expected to appear in court. The case adds to growing worries about gambling in American sports after several players faced bans and criminal charges in recent years. (PC: AFP)
