NBA legend, Chauncey Billups, now serving as the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, has been dominating the headlines. However, it is not related to his work as a coach or his former status as a sportsperson. Instead, Chauncey was arrested on October 23, 2025, due to his connection with a federal illegal gambling investigation.
According to NBC News, Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier are among the 30 people charged in a large-scale FBI investigation of insider sports betting. While the news has left his fans in shock, they have turned their attention to his family, especially his wife, Piper Billups, who has been a constant presence in his life amid his turbulent career in basketball.
Who is Piper Billups?
Piper Billups, earlier Piper Riley, is the longtime wife of Chauncey Billups. They first crossed paths while pursuing high school education at George Washington High School in Denver and have been together ever since. They got married in 2001, before Chauncey rose to fame as one of the biggest names in the NBA world. Piper has a degree in marketing and work experience as a realtor.
