Overview

• The Hornets removed a Bet365-branded “Sports Betting Night” from their March 17 game vs. Miami, telling the Sun-Sentinel it is no longer happening on that day.
• The now-scrapped promotion had drawn attention because the date coincided with Terry Rozier’s 32nd birthday and a scheduled Heat appearance in Charlotte.
• Federal authorities are still investigating unusual wagers linked to a March 23, 2023 Hornets–Pelicans game involving Rozier’s player props, though he has not been charged.
• ESPN-cited records show a Biloxi bettor placed 30 unders totaling $13,759 that all won after Rozier exited roughly 10 minutes into that 2023 game with a foot issue.
• The inquiry is part of a broader federal probe connected to the case that led to Jontay Porter’s lifetime NBA ban; the NBA previously reported no Rozier rule violations, and the Hornets and Heat offered limited comment.
