Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was arrested in Orlando and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in a federal sports-betting case that prosecutors say used nonpublic NBA injury information to place illegal wagers. He posted a $6 million bond. Prosecutors outlined two related cases tied to organized crime; 34 defendants are charged nationwide, with three overlapping, including former Heat player Damon Jones. A second case alleges fixed high-stakes poker games; Portland coach Chauncey Billups was arrested. The NBA placed Rozier and Billups on leave as Rozier's attorney blasted the arrest.
