This is true, Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier, the coaches for the Portland Trail Blazers and former Cleveland Cavaliers were arrested by the FBI. Both men and 34 other people were “arrested as part of a wide-range ig investigations related to illegal sports betting and rigged poker games backed by the Mafia,” reported David Purdum from ESPN.com.

The claims that Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami guard Terry Rozier are indeed true. According to The United States Attorney's Office Billups and Rozier were both arrested in the early morning of Thursday October 23rd. FBI director Kash Patel said that Rozier and Billups were apart of two different groupings of arrests. Yet, they are both indicted on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy according to ESPN. Overall it is clear that this is true and I am very interested to see what happens next in this massive shift in sports history.
