Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups was arrested by the FBI last month for allegedly taking part in mafia-influenced illegal poker games. On Monday, Billups appeared in a New York City federal court on charges on money laundering conspiracy and wire fraud.
Billups pleaded not guilty to the charges made against him during his arraignment. He previously appeared in a Portland, Ore., federal court last month when his attorney Chris Heywood called Billups a “man of integrity.”
