Miami Heat player Terry Rozier was arrested in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday morning as part of a sports betting investigation by federal authorities, a law enforcement official told CNBC.
Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was also arrested in a gambling probe, the official said.
Rozier, a 10-year NBA veteran, reportedly had been eyed for months over suspicious sports betting activity related to his play.
