Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has been arrested as part of the FBI's ongoing federal gambling probe, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
Billups became the second-known individual associated with the NBA to be arrested on Thursday morning. News broke earlier on Thursday that Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier had also been taken into custody.
Two law enforcement sources tell NBC News' Tom Winter that the arrest is not related to games Billups coached.
FBI director Kash Patel will be part of a 10 a.m. ET press conference on Thursday morning to announce the arrests, along with U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Joseph Nocella, Jr. and other law enforcement officials.
