Congress is demanding a briefing from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver after the FBI busted an alleged massive, nationwide organized crime-linked gambling scandal involving star athletes and at least one coach.

The FBI announced the arrests of Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat player Terry Rozier as part of an investigation into sports gambling on Thursday. At least 31 people were arrested in total in a criminal operation allegedly linked to the La Cosa Nostra crime families. As the NBA performs damage control, the House Committee on Commerce sent a letter to Silver on Friday asking for a briefing.
