flag NBA players and coach on leave after gambling arrests; salaries withheld pending legal outcomes.

flag NBA guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups are not receiving their salaries while on leave following federal gambling-related arrests on October 23, 2025. flag The Heat and Trail Blazers are withholding Rozier’s $26.6 million and Billups’ $4.7 million salaries, respectively, pending legal outcomes. flag Both deny the charges, which include allegations of manipulating game performance for betting gains and involvement in illegal gambling schemes. flag The NBA Players Association plans to file a grievance, citing violations of the collective bargaining agreement and the presumption of innocence. flag Rozier’s attorney clarified a prior IRS lien for $8.2 million was based on a misstatement—Rozier owed only $9,000, which was paid, though the lien remains active. flag The NBA previously investigated similar conduct in 2023 but found insufficient evidence.
