SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, Chauncey Billups, have been arrested in connection with a sports betting investigation, law enforcement officials tell CNN Sports.

A third former NBA player, Damon Jones, is also being charged in the investigation, the officials say. He has since retired, but was with the Sacramento Kings for one season in 2002 and played for other teams, including the Heat, Cavaliers and Bucks.

CNN Sports has reached out to Rozier’s lawyer, the Heat, the Trail Blazers and the NBA for comment.

Rozier, who is in his 10th season in the NBA, is charged in a scheme where he allegedly rigged games in connection with sports bettors, officials said. The 30-year-old allegedly shared information about rosters for games and who would be on the bench with bettors, an official said. He also faked an injury nine minutes into one game to benefit the betting ring, according to officials.

In a separate alleged scheme, Billups – a Basketball Hall of Famer, who was a five-time All-Star and 2004 NBA champion – participated in an illegal poker game that took place in Manhattan, Miami, Las Vegas and the Hamptons, officials say. The poker game allegedly involved members of at least three of New York’s mafia families, according to officials.

Billups and Jones were paid for their participation, officials say, including one instance where Jones asked for a partial pre-payment of $2,500 before he attended one of the games.
