Overview
- The FBI arrested Terry Rozier in Orlando as part of a federal investigation into an illegal insider sports-betting operation that prosecutors say also implicates Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones.
- Prosecutors allege Rozier conspired to manipulate outcomes, citing a March 23, 2023 Hornets game in which he allegedly planned to exit early to benefit specific wagers.
- The NBA had been alerted to unusual betting activity tied to Rozier about 10 months before Miami acquired him, and the league did not inform the Heat under its practice of withholding such probes from teams.
- Under Exhibit F-7 of the NBA collective bargaining agreement, Rozier is expected to collect his $26.6 million 2025–26 salary while on leave, and Miami faces luxury-tax constraints in replacing him.
- Miami says it is gathering information and has not decided whether to appeal to recoup the draft pick sent to Charlotte, and the league denies ordering Rozier to be benched, citing an MRI-confirmed foot injury.
