NBA and US authorities respond to illegal betting case involving 34 arrests
The NBA said it had worked with authorities after detecting unusual betting patterns linked to Miami Heat player Terry Rozier in March 2023. The report says 34 people have been arrested in cases involving alleged misuse of confidential basketball information and a separate alleged rigged-poker network; the NBA commissioner said those involved had been removed from their duties while legal proceedings continue.
The cases put scrutiny on betting integrity controls and cooperation between sports leagues and law enforcement.
