NBA seeks documents from teams in federal betting investigation
The NBA has asked several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, to provide documents and electronic devices as it investigates alleged links between professional basketball figures and an organised-crime betting network. The federal case has led to more than 30 arrests, while the league has hired an independent law firm to investigate allegations and is considering changes to injury-reporting protocols.
The investigation and possible injury-reporting changes could affect teams’ handling of information relevant to betting markets.
