Stephen A. Smith refused to retract comments linking presidential influence to the FBI’s sweeping sports-betting probe that led to the arrests of Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier and ex-NBA player Damon Jones, among others. After FBI Director Kash Patel blasted Smith on Fox News, Smith stood firm on his SiriusXM show, predicting more arrests and calling the investigation a warning shot. The FBI says 34 people were arrested in a $7 million scheme. The NBA placed Billups and Rozier on leave, as Commissioner Adam Silver said he was deeply disturbed.
