Reporter Xiaoka broke the news: Lu once participated in Billups’ illegal gambling game and often accompanied Damon Jones

Pablo Torre, the reporter who broke the news about Xiao Ka’s alleged involvement in the Yin Yang Contract incident, updated the latest podcast today and talked about Billups being arrested on suspicion of illegal gambling.

Pablo Torre said that multiple sources revealed that in the illegal poker game in Las Vegas that was continuously discussed by the public in April 2019 - that is, the game in which Billups was accused of profiting from extremely suspicious hands and a manipulated card shuffler - the other "head card" present was the current Clippers coach Tyronn Lue.

Lu was serving as an assistant coach for the Clippers at the time. According to insiders, Tyronn LuLu did not compete with his close friend Billups - this old friend he called a life and death friend was later hired as the team's assistant coach when Lu officially took charge of the Clippers in 2020.

But a well-known secret in the league is that Tyronn Lue lives in Las Vegas every offseason and is obsessed with poker. He often appears in the high-limit poker bar of Aria Casino, which is regarded by the industry as the core base of the NBA poker circle, and is often accompanied by another retired NBA player, Damon Jones.

Billups and Damon Jones were both arrested on suspicion of participating in illegal gambling and are currently under detailed investigation by the FBI.
