PHILADELPHIA — Federal prosecutors charged 20 people on Thursday, including three former DePaul players, in what they called a betting scheme to rig NCAA and Chinese Basketball Association games.

Of the defendants, 15 played basketball for Division 1 NCAA schools as recently as the 2024-25 season.

According to a report by NBC5 Chicago, Jalen Terry, Da’Sean Nelson, and Micawber Etienne are among the DePaul players charged. The station also reported that former Bulls player Antonio Blakeney was also charged.

The other five defendants were described by authorities as fixers.

They include two men who prosecutors say worked in the training and development of basketball players.
