US lawmakers seek NBA briefing on gambling investigations by 31 October

Six members of the US House Energy and Commerce Committee asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to brief them by 31 October on the league’s response to gambling investigations involving current and former basketball figures. They sought information on the NBA’s betting-company partnerships, safeguards against misuse of inside information and possible regulatory gaps; Silver has called for tighter oversight and federal legislation. An attorney for Terry Rozier disputed the accusations against his client.
