NBA Launches Integrity Review After FBI Arrests of Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups

Federal arrests prompted a reassessment of how the NBA guards integrity in the age of player prop bets.

Overview

  • The NBA notified all 30 teams that it is reviewing injury disclosure policies, staff training, and internal and external monitoring programs.
  • Federal cases include Rozier accused of conspiring around a March 2023 performance and Billups held in a separate alleged mafia-linked high‑tech poker scheme.
  • Sportsbooks flagged unusual wagering tied to Rozier that the league examined in 2023 without conclusive findings, and the memo identifies player prop markets as a higher‑risk area.
  • Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell requested documents and explanations on how the league handled the Rozier allegations and safeguarded game integrity.
  • The review also targets potential leaks of confidential medical information after reports that ex‑player Damon Jones shared details on LeBron James and Anthony Davis with bettors.
