Overview

• The Hornets’ promotional schedule lists a Sports Betting theme night for March 17 against the Heat at Spectrum Center, with bet365 cited as the game sponsor by local reports.
• The event coincides with an ongoing federal investigation into unusual betting patterns linked to Rozier’s March 23, 2023 appearance when he was with Charlotte, though he has not been charged.
• ESPN-reported documents say a bettor in Biloxi placed 30 unders totaling $13,759 that all won after Rozier exited about 10 minutes into that 2023 game citing a foot issue.
• Rozier’s attorney points to a 2023 NBA review that found no wrongdoing and says he is confident the government investigation will reach the same conclusion.
• The Hornets declined to address the promotion’s timing and the Heat also declined comment, while coverage notes only speculative roster and cap outcomes for Miami, including buyout, waiver or potential cap relief if ineligibility were ever imposed.
