NBA salaries of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier withheld

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier are having their salaries withheld after arrests in separate gambling-related cases, CNBC confirmed. Both were placed on leave by the NBA last Thursday. Billups, reportedly set to earn $4.7 million, is accused of joining alleged Mafia members to cheat players in underground poker games; his lawyer says he is a man of integrity. Rozier, paid $26.6 million, is charged in a scheme involving confidential information and prop bets; his lawyer denies wrongdoing. The salary holds emerged two days after the NBA announced a broad betting review.
