US EditionNBA betting investigation: Multiple teams asked to hand over cell phones, per report
The NBA seeks phones and records from several teams amid DOJ indictments and congressional scrutiny over illegal sports betting and alleged rigged poker games.
- Saturday, the NBA asked multiple teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, to hand over cell phones and documents as part of its probe, The Athletic reported.
- After federal indictments late last month, the league expanded scrutiny following arrests of Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones, and after meetings with U.S. Congress, the NBA, via Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, began requesting phones and records from teams.
- Lakers staff have begun surrendering devices, with Mike Mancias and Randy Mims cooperating and at least 10 Lakers employees expected to turn over records; prosecutors allege Damon Jones sold injury information and pleaded not guilty on Nov. 6.
- The NBA says it is reviewing gambling policies and exploring ways to protect players, while U.S. Congress probes and federal prosecutors and DOJ retain subpoena power the league lacks.
- The NBA engaged an independent law firm and issued preservation requests to individuals and organizations as a league memo last month warned legal betting expansion raises integrity issues.
