Billups, a former Detroit Pistons star and NBA Hall of Famer, was arrested in connection with rigged illegal poker games tied to Mafia crime families.
He was targeted along with Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier in an FBI-led investigation into the scam that allegedly saw players cheated with the use of sophisticated methods including an X-ray table and barcoded card decks.
Dozens of other suspects were arrested as part of the FBI probe.
