Chauncey Billups, Portland Trail Blazers coach, has been arrested by the FBI for alleged illegal gambling and is on leave without pay. Meanwhile, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier has also been arrested as part of an FBI sports betting gambling probe and is on leave without pay. Both will have their paychecks withheld and placed in escrow pending the outcome of the FBI cases.
