NBA's Terry Rozier Under Federal Investigation for Alleged Betting Scheme

Federal prosecutors are scrutinizing the Miami Heat guard's 2023 game performance during his time with the Charlotte Hornets, though no charges have been filed.

Federal investigators are examining whether Terry Rozier manipulated his performance during a March 2023 game against the New Orleans Pelicans while playing for the Charlotte Hornets.
The investigation is part of a broader probe that previously implicated former Raptors player Jontay Porter, who was banned for life from the NBA and pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy.
Unusual betting patterns on Rozier’s performance, including a surge in bets on his statistical 'unders,' led sportsbooks to halt wagers and triggered alerts from monitoring firm U.S. Integrity.
Rozier left the game in question after less than 10 minutes, citing a foot injury, and missed the remainder of the season; the NBA’s internal investigation found no rule violations at the time.
Rozier, who has not been charged or accused of wrongdoing, continues to play for the Miami Heat as the investigation unfolds, with the NBA cooperating with federal authorities.
