A US congressional committee will meet with NBA officials on Wednesday in Washington following the indictment of Chauncey Billups. Terry Rozier And Damon Jonessources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
The meeting is considered an informational session for members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and will include discussions about the league's partnerships with sportsbooks and measures to prevent the misuse of proprietary information, the sources said.
Committee sent a written request to the NBA for a briefing with Commissioner Adam Silver at the end of October. Silver was not expected to attend Wednesday's meeting.
House and Senate congressional committees sent letters to the NBA days after Billups, Rozier and Jones were among 34 people arrested as part of the wide-ranging federal investigation into alleged rigged poker games and sports betting schemes.
Jones, a former NBA player and assistant coach, will appear in court Thursday at 2 p.m. in Brooklyn, New York. Billups' arraignment is set for Nov. 24, and Rozier's arraignment is set for Dec. 8 in federal court in Brooklyn.
