"Rozier, 31, was one of 34 individuals arrested - which also included Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and former 11-year NBA veteran Damon Jones. Rozier was accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, though the NBA found no evidence in its initial findings. The Heat guard was released from custody on Thursday afternoon, and he was placed on immediate leave."
""The sports books caught the irregular betting on Terry Rozier the day it happened," he said. "When all of the sudden, there were hundreds and thousands of dollars coming in on Terry Rozier unders for a relatively meaningless game in March involving the Hornets. " The sportsbook caught it. They told the NBA right away, and guess what? Rozier didn't play the rest of the season and he had faked the injury. So, it wasn't cause of the injury. The NBA pulled him."
Terry Rozier was arrested by the FBI on charges connected to an illegal gambling investigation and placed on immediate leave after release from custody. He was one of 34 individuals arrested, including Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones. The indictment alleges conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, while the NBA's initial review found no evidence. The alleged scheme dates to the 2022-23 season with the Charlotte Hornets, when multiple sportsbooks recorded 30 wagers totaling $13,759 on Rozier unders for points, rebounds and assists on March 23, 2023. The indictment alleges several co-conspirators placed more than $200,000 in bets prior to the game. Sportsbooks notified the league and Rozier was withheld for the remainder of the season.
