NBA head coach Chauncey Billups and player Terry Rozier are each having their multi-million-dollar salaries withheld by their respective teams after their arrests for separate gambling-related criminal cases, CNBC confirmed Wednesday.
Billups, the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Miami Heat guard Rozier were placed on leave from their teams by the NBA last Thursday after their arrests that day.
Billups, a former Detroit Pistons player who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2024, reportedly earned about $4.7 million for the 2024-25 season.
In April, the Trail Blazers signed him to a multi-year contract extension through the 2026-27 season for an undisclosed amount.
Rozier’s salary for this season is about $26.6 million.
