Prosecutors say Rozier and others passed confidential intel to organized crime groups to help wager on NBA games. Billups allegedly participated in a separate scheme involving underground poker games.
The stunning allegations paint a picture of a sophisticated cheating scheme that featured X-ray-equipped poker tables, rigged card shufflers, marked cards and the use of sensor-equipped contact lenses and glasses by colluding players at the table.
Hired as the Blazers' coach in 2021, the former Hall of Fame guard could be facing basketball career-ending charges following a Thursday morning arrest at his Lake Oswego home.
