The NBA has placed Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and veteran guard Terry Rozier on administrative leave following their arrests on allegations connected to illegal sports betting and an underground poker operation, the league confirmed Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.
League officials said both men were taken into custody earlier in the week during a multi-agency investigation. Details of the charges have not been released publicly, but the NBA stated it is cooperating with law-enforcement authorities and has opened its own inquiry.
Under the terms of the leave, Billups and Rozier are barred from all team activities until further notice. The NBA did not provide a timeline for the internal review.
No additional information on court dates or possible league discipline was immediately available.
