Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups Arrested by the FBI For Shocking Reasons

In the past few years, there have been several betting scandals in sports, with the biggest in the NBA being Jontay Porter, who was banned for life after his involvement in betting on his own games with the Toronto Raptors. However, that hasn't been the last of it, as there was a major investigation into Malik Beasley this offseason, with the former Pistons veteran seemingly escaping any punishment thus far.

Now, we've got another scenario on our hands, with Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups reportedly arrested by the FBI.

However, this wasn't just in relation to sports gambling, but rather a poker operation that has been linked to the Mafia, with FBI Director Kash Patel detailing the situation.

"Individuals such as Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, and Terry Rozier were taken into custody today, former, current NBA players, and coaches... this is an illegal gambling operation and sports rigging operation that spanned the course of years."

This has completely rocked the NBA world, with reports revealing that the NBA had no idea this was coming until the situation was made public, and given the involvement of Damon Jones and Terry Rozier, it's come as a huge shock.

Now, we simply wait for further details on the situation, but given how big a situation this has become, it's safe to say that this may not be a good look for the NBA, as this seemingly goes much, much further than Billups, Rozier, and Jones.
