The NBA has expressed concerns about prop bets, and other sports have also openly worried about the potential for manipulation.
The three indicted with NBA connections are Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier; Damon Jones, a former NBA player who played with the Heat for one season; and Chauncey Billups, the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers and a former player.
More than 30 people have been charged in two criminal cases from a FBI gambling-related probe. Those indicted include multiple sports figures, including Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups. Authorities said the schemes involved rigging sports bets and poker games and involved Mafia families.
