I feel there are many more to come. What a way to start a morning…

Edit; apparently it was for poker, not gambling on NBA games https://abcnews.go.com/US/miami-heat-terry-rozier-charged-nba-betting/story?id=126789368

Man I promoted the dude to be hired as Lakers coach.

Can't believe he would do something so dumb. Maybe explains why he never got that HC job earlier

All these guys.

They put the ‘dumb’ and the ‘ass’ in ‘dumbass.’

Maybe embracing gambling as a sports league wasn't such a great idea, who could've thunk.

As I said in Terry Rozzier thread, do not jump to conclussions, these betting agencies enforced insane legal protections against anyone who try to screw them in any way. This could be another inside information leak case, which is still illegal, but I do not think it is the same at all as fixing sports scores in illegal bets. I think some people just didn't caught up with the facts that inside information leak could get you in jail now because of these betting agencies.

The league is corrupt and they don't even care that you know it.

Of course they wont, but the sports should really end this betting nonsense. Just an awful look to support this crap that ruin way more lives than booze and drugs.

Not a good look for the NBA (National Betting Association).

I don't understand the situation these guys get themselves in to where they need to do this while already making millions and millions. They could make money so many other ways but they gotta manipulate the natural flow of the game. It is dumb and honestly ever since Rozier started doing it his career tanked.

Chauncey just ended his basketball career. Sucks and also insane for Blazers to lose their head coach like this 1 game into the season.
