Overview

• Federal investigators are examining whether Terry Rozier manipulated his performance during a March 2023 game against the New Orleans Pelicans while playing for the Charlotte Hornets.
• The investigation is part of a broader probe that previously implicated former Raptors player Jontay Porter, who was banned for life from the NBA and pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy.
• Unusual betting patterns on Rozier’s performance, including a surge in bets on his statistical 'unders,' led sportsbooks to halt wagers and triggered alerts from monitoring firm U.S. Integrity.
• Rozier left the game in question after less than 10 minutes, citing a foot injury, and missed the remainder of the season; the NBA’s internal investigation found no rule violations at the time.
• Rozier, who has not been charged or accused of wrongdoing, continues to play for the Miami Heat as the investigation unfolds, with the NBA cooperating with federal authorities.
