"The Charlotte Hornets released theirs on Tuesday. One of their theme nights will be against the Miami Heat in March, where they poked a hilarious dig at former Hornets guard and current Heat guard Terry Rozier's betting scandal. Hornets will have a "Sports Betting" theme night when Heat and Hornets play in March: Yes, you read that correctly. Whether it was intentional or unintentional: Well played, Charlotte."
"The March 17 matchup between the two teams will be sponsored by bet365. There are multiple interesting coincidences related to this game. For one, this St. Patrick's Day affair is days before the anniversary of the game that prompted the investigation in the first place. From a game played on March 23, 2023, 30 wagers were allegedly bet by an anonymous bettor when Rozier was still with the Hornets. Rozier's birthday is also on March 17. Happy early Birthday, Terry!"
The NBA released the full 82-game schedule and teams unveiled promotional and theme nights for home games. The Charlotte Hornets scheduled a "Sports Betting" theme night for their March 17 home game against the Miami Heat, with sponsorship from bet365. The date coincides with Terry Rozier's birthday and falls days before the anniversary of the March 23, 2023 game tied to an investigation alleging 30 wagers placed by an anonymous bettor when Rozier was with Charlotte. Rozier was traded to Miami ahead of the 2023-24 deadline. A separate June betting allegation involving Malik Beasley was later cleared. Miami has reportedly sought to trade Rozier amid the ongoing investigation.
