NBA Heat Guard Terry Rozier Remains Under Federal Gambling Investigation

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier remains under federal investigation for potential involvement in an illegal sports betting scheme linked to a 2023 NBA game when he played for the Charlotte Hornets. The probe is part of a larger gambling ring investigation that led to former Raptors player Jontay Porter's lifetime NBA ban for game manipulation and betting fraud. Although the NBA's internal review found no rule violations by Rozier, federal authorities continue examining his performance patterns and possible communications with those tied to the betting ring. Rozier's lawyer maintains confidence that the ongoing investigation will clear him of wrongdoing, emphasizing the previous NBA investigation's outcome. The investigation focuses on suspicious betting activity around a March 23, 2023, game where bettors placed wagers on Rozier's statistical performance before he left the game early due to a foot injury. The case remains unresolved as federal prosecutors pursue broader connections between NBA and college basketball games and the gambling operation.
