As we wait for the news conference to get under way, we can bring you some more information about the arrests.
Though these high-profile arrests have happened on the same day, they are part of separate but related illegal gambling cases, CBS reports.
Miami Heat player Terry Rozier was among six people arrested, including other players who may have faked injuries, according to reports.
Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, meanwhile, is one of 31 people charged in a separate illegal poker game case involving coaches and organised crime figures, law enforcement sources told CBS.
As we reported earlier, former NBA player Damon Jones has also been arrested, according to CBS.
