"'You support him through and through,' Heat captain Bam Adebayo said in Memphis, Tennessee, before Miami's game against the Grizzlies. 'That's our brother at the end of the day. It felt kind of weird without him being here, actually, because he's the first person I get to talk to in the morning. He brings that great energy to our team.'"
"Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, Heat guard Terry Rozier and former Cavaliers player and assistant coach Damon Jones were arrested as part of a pair of wide-ranging investigations related to illegal sports betting and rigged poker games backed by the Mafia, authorities announced. Adebayo made clear how the team still feels about Rozier. 'We stand behind him,' Adebayo said. 'Full support.'"
Terry Rozier was arrested by federal agents and charged in an alleged scheme accusing him of conspiring with friends to help them win bets tied to his March 2023 performance with the Charlotte Hornets. The NBA placed Rozier on indefinite leave. Teammates and coaches publicly voiced support, with Bam Adebayo and Erik Spoelstra praising Rozier's positive impact and presence in the locker room. The FBI's sweep included 34 arrests, naming Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones among those charged in investigations of illegal sports betting and Mafia-backed rigged poker games. The Heat are seeking ways to move forward while the legal process continues.
