"On Monday afternoon, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier is scheduled to enter a federal courthouse in Brooklyn and officially be arraigned as part of a wide-ranging investigation into illegal sports betting. Rozier is accused of participating in a betting scheme, using insider NBA information while he was a member of the Charlotte Hornets, after suspicious prop betting involving his stats occurred in a road game against the New Orleans Pelicans on March 23, 2023."
"Sources told ESPN that the Heat were not aware of the NBA's investigation when they traded for Rozier, whom they acquired for a 2027 lottery-protected first-round pick and guard Kyle Lowry while trying to make another deep playoff run. Instead, Rozier did not appear in a playoff game for Miami, playing 95 games across two regular seasons and averaging 12.5 points on 40.4% shooting."
Terry Rozier is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn as part of a wide-ranging illegal sports betting investigation. He is accused of participating in a betting scheme by using insider NBA information while with the Charlotte Hornets after suspicious prop bets tied to his stats in a March 23, 2023 road game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The NBA investigated and did not find that Rozier violated league rules. Rozier was traded to the Miami Heat on Jan. 23, 2024 for a 2027 lottery-protected first-round pick and guard Kyle Lowry. Sources say the Heat were not aware of the NBA investigation at the time of the trade. Rozier played 95 games across two regular seasons for Miami, averaging 12.5 points on 40.4% shooting and did not appear in a playoff game for the Heat. The situation raises questions about required disclosure between the league and teams, Miami’s recourse, and potential roster moves before the Feb. 5 trade deadline.
