Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said Sunday he has spoken to Blazers coach Chauncey Billups since he was arrested Thursday as part of federal investigations into illegal sports betting and rigged poker games.

Tyronn Lue speaks out on Chauncey Billups’ illegal betting and poker rigging allegations, offering support amid FBI investigation.

Billups took some time off from basketball before beginning his coaching career in 2020. He first was hired by one of his former teams the Clippers to work as an assistant under Tyronn Lue. He was only in Los Angeles for one season before the Trail Blazers hired him.

Hired as the Blazers' coach in 2021, the former Hall of Fame guard could be facing basketball career-ending charges following a Thursday morning arrest at his Lake Oswego home.

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue reportedly tied to the same Mafia-backed rigged poker scandal as Chauncey Billups in Las Vegas.

Luka Doncic is already giving Lakers fans plenty to chant about. After all, MVP chants filled the arena Friday night as the star guard poured in 49 points in a win over the Timberwolves, giving him 92 through his first two games.
