It was previously reported that Billups had revealed to gamblers the news that the Trail Blazers had messed up and deliberately lost games to improve their lottery picks.
Former Trail Blazers player Anfernee Simons said: "At least not as far as I know. All we were asked to do was to play. You just go up and play until you are replaced. I think generally I was not told anything like that."
