Hassan Whiteside sarcastically blames Chauncey Billups for why the Portland Trail Blazers didn’t give him a second chance despite him being impressive throughout the 2019-20 season

Chauncey Billups’ future with the Portland Trail Blazers is precarious at best following his arrest Thursday for allegedly participating in rigged poker games. The Blazers and the NBA placed Billups on leave and assistant coach Tiago Splitter has been named interim head coach.

Former Detroit Pistons star and current Portland Trail Blazers head coach, Chauncey Billups, was released from custody after having a court hearing following his involvement in a major FBI investigation into illegal gambling and game-fixing schemes.

A number of former pro athletes reportedly attended the poker games that led to 31 people being charged by the FBI.

NBA coach Chauncey Billups' arrest with two others on illegal gambling charges was a chance for the NCAA to revisit its recent decision to allow athletes to bet on pro sports.

Miami Heat player Terry Rozier is accused in the same indictment of participating in a scheme that exploited confidential information to make bets on games.

Federal authorities alleged the former NBA stars were used by New York City mob families "to attract" wealthy players to rigged poker games
