Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups arrested over alleged organized crime-tied poker scheme

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has been charged in an alleged illegal poker scheme tied to organized crime, sources told the Post.

The 49-year-old former NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons was arrested in Oregon Thursday morning, the night after coaching his team in their season opener.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was charged as well, in a separate but related illegal gambling case, ABC reported.

A total of 31 people across the country are charged with running rigged games, which took place in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Las Vegas, sources said.

Rozier, 31, was arrested by federal agents at a hotel in Orlando, Florida, early Thursday morning, hours after the Heat lost to the Orlando Magic in a game he did not play in due to a coach’s decision, ESPN reported.

Rozier previously had been under investigation for unusual betting activity during his time with the Hornets, specifically a March 2023 contest; however, the NBA did not find any violation.

The charges come less than a year after former Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter pleaded guilty to tipping off gamblers to games he purposely was going to rig — and earning them $1 million — in an effort to clear his own gambling debt.

Billups is scheduled to make his initial appearance in Oregon federal court on Thursday, but will eventually appear in Brooklyn federal court in the Eastern District of New York, which handled the case against Porter.

Prosecutors and FBI Director Kash Patel are expected to announce further details about the alleged schemes at a press conference in Brooklyn on Thursday morning.
