"Sources: Rozier, Billups won't be paid while on leave"

"Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups will not be paid while on leaves of absence from their teams because of federal charges related to gambling, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Both of their paychecks are expected to be withheld and placed in escrow, pending the outcome of FBI cases, per sources.

Rozier's salary is about $26.6 million this season, paid in installments.

If Rozier is cleared and allowed to return to the NBA, which placed him on leave hours after his Oct. 23 arrest, he would receive the held payments in full, per sources."

Anyone know how much Billups extension is? I believe his prior deal which includes this season is 4.7 million per year. He has a two year extension agreed to last April.

They likely violated a morals clause in the contracts. I assume they get back pay if exonerated.
