**Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups have been arrested as part of an FBI sports betting investigation, according to sources close to** [**ESPN**](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46695228/sources-terry-rozier-arrested-part-gambling-inquiry)**’s Shams Charania.**
Rozier, 31, who plays for the NBA’s Miami Heat, was arrested at a hotel in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday morning (October 23).
The 31-year-old was left out of The Heat’s defeat against the Orlando Magic the previous day.
ESPN claims that “Sportsbooks in multiple states flagged suspicious betting interest on Rozier's statistics” before the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans match on March 23, 2023.
It is reported that an array of ‘unexpected’ bets - including 30 stakes in 46 minutes, worth a total of $13,759 – were placed in multiple states, which flagged suspicious betting patterns.
Jim Trusty, Rozier’s attorney, told ESPN that the NBA star met with the NBA and FBI several times in 2023, with the league initially determining he was guilty of no wrongdoing at the time.
Bookmakers in multiple reported suspicious interest in his statistics, with surge in bets placed on his points, rebounds and assists.
Journalist Charania also reported that Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups had been arrested for alleged illegal gambling.
It is not clear where Billups was arrested, but two senior law enforcement officials told [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/miami-heats-terry-rozier-arrested-federal-gambling-related-investigati-rcna239306) that his arrest was connected with a federal gambling-related investigation.
The FBI are expected to announce charges later today, according to officials with a press conference set to take place at 10 a.m. ET.
The Miami Heat, the Trail Blazers and Rozier's agent, Aaron Turner, did not respond to NBC's request for comment.
