Live Updates: Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier Among Those Arrested in NBA-Linked Gambling Probes

Two sweeping indictments, naming more than 30 defendants, allege insider betting and rigged poker schemes entangling the N.B.A. Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups were placed on immediate leave after arrests Thursday, as prosecutors said Rozier tipped conspirators before exiting a 2023 game, yielding hundreds of thousands in winnings. A separate plot allegedly used altered shuffling machines, hidden cameras and marked cards to cheat victims at poker games organized by mafia families in multiple cities. Authorities say the yearslong probe, led by the F.B.I. and N.Y.P.D., is ongoing and could bring more charges.
