The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation is seeking answers from the NBA regarding gambling scandals that have engulfed the league.

In an Oct. 27 letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the committee’s chairman, and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the committee’s ranking member, wrote that current and former NBA players and coaches have “compromised the game’s integrity.”
